About this tool
Free Meta Tag Extractor
Use the free WebToolsEdge Meta Tag Extractor to inspect the SEO and social metadata of any accessible public webpage. Enter a URL and the tool extracts the title tag, meta description, canonical URL, robots meta tag, Open Graph tags, Twitter card tags, and visible heading structure from the page HTML. This meta tag extractor is useful when you want to quickly view meta tags online without opening browser developer tools or reading raw source code. SEO teams can check whether a page has a clear title and description, content editors can review headings before publishing, developers can verify canonical and robots directives, and social media managers can confirm whether Open Graph and Twitter preview tags are present. The tool works as an SEO meta tag checker by showing each important field in a readable report. Title length and meta description length are highlighted so you can spot missing, very short, or overly long metadata. It also lists H1 through H6 headings, making it easier to see whether the page structure matches the topic and whether the page has a clear primary heading. Open Graph tags control how many links appear when shared on platforms that read social preview metadata. This Open Graph tag checker extracts og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type so you can confirm whether shared links have useful titles, descriptions, and preview images. Twitter card tags are also shown separately because some platforms use twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, and twitter:card values. Canonical URL and robots meta values are important for indexation and duplicate-content handling. A canonical tells search engines which URL should be treated as the preferred version of similar content. A robots meta tag can allow or restrict indexing and snippet behavior at the page level. Because these directives can affect search visibility, always review them carefully before publishing or changing important pages. To extract meta tags from URL, the tool fetches public HTML through a protected server route with timeout, redirect, size, content-type, and private-network safeguards. Some websites block server requests, require login, render metadata only after JavaScript runs, or return different HTML to automated requests. For critical audits, compare the result with browser source, your CMS settings, and Google Search Console. This tool is not a ranking guarantee. Good metadata can improve clarity and click-through potential, but rankings depend on helpful content, search intent, technical accessibility, internal links, authority, performance, and many other signals. Use the extracted results as a practical audit step, then improve the page with original and useful content. After reviewing tags, copy the full report for your notes or issue tracker. If the page needs stronger title and description copy, use the SEO Generator. If you need a broader on-page review, continue with the SEO Analyzer.
After extracting metadata, run a broader page review with the SEO Analyzer. If the title or description needs rewriting, draft cleaner options with the SEO Generator. For crawl instructions, use the Robots.txt Generator.
