FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What meta tags does the analyser check?

The analyser checks the title tag, meta description, meta robots, canonical URL, Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, og:url), Twitter Card tags, and viewport settings. It flags issues with length, missing values, and common configuration errors.

What is the ideal length for a title tag?

Google typically displays title tags up to approximately 600 pixels wide, which corresponds to roughly 50-60 characters. Titles that are too long get truncated in search results, cutting off your key message. Titles that are too short may miss ranking opportunities. Aim for 50-60 characters that include your primary keyword near the beginning.

What is the ideal length for a meta description?

Google typically displays meta descriptions up to around 155-160 characters. Longer descriptions get cut off. Shorter ones leave valuable space unused. Aim for 140-155 characters that summarise the page clearly and include a call to action where appropriate.

Do meta keywords still matter for SEO?

No. The meta keywords tag has been ignored by Google since 2009 and is not used as a ranking signal by any major search engine. You do not need to include it, though it won’t actively harm you if it’s present.
