Bulk Meta Tag Checker
This free bulk meta checker reads up to 20 URLs at once and shows, for each page, the HTTP status, title and its length, meta description and its length, number of H1 headings, canonical URL and robots tag. A final column flags problems such as a missing description or a title that is too long, so you can audit a section of a site in one go.

About this tool
Titles and meta descriptions are the first thing searchers see, and the easiest on-page element to get wrong at scale. Pages copied from a template share the same title, new pages go live without a description, and a plugin update quietly adds a noindex tag. Checking them one at a time is slow, so this tool reads a whole list of URLs and puts the results side by side.
Paste up to 20 addresses, one per line. For each, the tool requests the page from our server and reports the status code, the title and its character count, the description and its count, the number of H1 headings, the canonical URL and the robots meta tag. The last column lists issues: missing or duplicate titles, titles over 60 characters, descriptions outside 70 to 160 characters, no or several H1s, noindex, and a canonical that points elsewhere.
The length guides are rules of thumb, because Google cuts titles and descriptions by pixel width, not by characters. The tool does not crawl: it checks the addresses you give, so use it on sample pages of each template or on a sitemap extract. Each request counts against the hourly fetch allowance, so a full list of 20 uses 20 of the visitor's fetches.
Frequently asked questions
How many URLs can I check at once?
Up to 20 per run. Each page is requested live from our server, and the hourly allowance per visitor is limited to keep the free tool fair. For a larger site, check one URL from each page template, then run a desktop crawler for a full audit.
What are the best lengths for titles and descriptions?
Aim for titles of about 50 to 60 characters and descriptions of 120 to 155 characters. Google measures width in pixels, so these are guides. Put the main keyword first in the title and write the description as a short promise of what the page offers.
Why does the tool flag duplicate titles?
Two pages with the same title compete for the same search result and give searchers no way to choose. Google may also rewrite the title. Give each page a title that names what is unique about it, such as the product, city or topic.
What does a canonical pointing elsewhere mean?
The page tells search engines that another URL is the preferred version, so this page is unlikely to be indexed by itself. That is correct for filtered or duplicate pages and a mistake on pages you want to rank. The table shows the canonical so you can spot unexpected ones.
