About

scrapetags.com helps you inspect the metadata of a public web page before you share it, publish it, or send it to someone for review. Enter a URL and the service fetches the page title, meta description, Open Graph tags, Twitter Card tags, and related metadata so you can see what platforms and crawlers are likely to read.

Why meta tags are useful

Metadata often decides the first impression of a link. A missing title, a vague description, or the wrong share image can make an otherwise good page look unfinished when it appears in chats, social feeds, search results, or internal tools. scrapetags.com gives you a quick way to catch those issues without opening browser dev tools or checking the page source by hand.

It is especially helpful when launching new pages, reviewing client work, debugging CMS output, or checking that recent content changes are reflected in the tags exposed by the page.

What meta tags do

Meta tags are small pieces of information in a page's HTML. They are not usually visible on the page itself, but they describe the page to browsers, search engines, link preview generators, and social platforms. Common tags include the page title, meta description, canonical URL, and Open Graph fields such as og:title, og:description, and og:image.

Good metadata makes links clearer and more trustworthy. It helps people understand what they are about to open, gives platforms better preview content, and reduces surprises when a page is shared outside the website where it was originally published.

How results are displayed

Each scraped page is shown as a card with its URL, title, description, and Open Graph preview image. Clicking "View all tags" opens a detailed view that lists every tag the service found, along with an automated validation report.

Automated validation

scrapetags.com checks your metadata against common best practices so you don't have to remember the rules:

  • Title length: warns when your <title> is shorter than 30 or longer than 60 characters, and flags it as too long past 70.
  • Description length: warns when your meta description is shorter than 120 or longer than 160 characters, and flags it as too long past 200.
  • Open Graph tags: checks for the presence of og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, og:locale, and og:site_name.
  • Twitter Card tags: checks for the presence of twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image.

Built for quick checks

The goal is simple: paste a URL, inspect the tags, and fix anything that looks wrong. Start by checking your own page on the scrapetags.com homepage.
