| Description | 140–155 characters, clear benefit | Missing, duplicated across pages |
| Robots | index, follow (or absent) | noindex on a page that should rank |
| Viewport | width=device-width, initial-scale=1 | Missing |
| og:type | website or article | Missing – social shares look plain |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tags does the Meta Tag Analyzer read?
Title, description, keywords, viewport, robots, author and og:type.
Can I analyse a competitor's page?
Yes. Any public URL can be checked.
The analyzer shows no description. What does that mean?
The page has no meta description, so Google will pick text from the page. Add one written for searchers.
What should the robots tag say?
For pages you want in Google: "index, follow" or no robots tag at all. "noindex" keeps a page out of search results.
Why is the viewport tag important?
Without it, pages do not scale properly on phones, which hurts mobile usability.
Can it check Open Graph images?
It reads og:type. For a full social preview check, inspect the page's og:title, og:description and og:image in the page source or use the platform's sharing debugger.
