Meta tag checker FAQ
Check the metadata in the response.
Why check both meta robots and X-Robots-Tag?
Indexing directives can appear in the HTML or the HTTP response. Reviewing both helps avoid missing a header-level rule that is not visible in the page source.
Does a missing meta description prevent indexing?
No. A page can be indexed without one, but search engines may build the result snippet entirely from page content.
Does the checker render JavaScript?
No. It inspects the HTML returned by the public URL, which is the useful baseline for metadata that should be present in the server response.
