Page metadata shapes how a page is understood in browser tabs, search snippets, link previews, and social shares. This previewer lets you draft a title tag, meta description, canonical URL, site name, and Open Graph image URL, then see a simplified search result and social card before publishing. It also generates copyable HTML and flags common issues such as very short titles, overly long descriptions, missing image tags, unsupported URLs, and credential-bearing links.
How To Use It
- Enter the page title, meta description, and full canonical page URL.
- Optionally add a site name and Open Graph image URL for social sharing previews.
- Review the search preview, social preview, and checks for practical length or setup warnings.
- Copy the generated HTML and adapt it to your framework or CMS. Search engines and social platforms may still rewrite snippets based on page content and user context.
Examples
Tool page metadata
Preview whether a tool page title clearly names the task and whether the description explains what users can do before the page is indexed.
Social sharing setup
Add an Open Graph image URL to see whether the card has the core title, description, site name, URL, and image metadata needed for richer link previews.
Snippet length review
A 25-character title or 200-character description is flagged so you can tighten the copy before publishing.
Useful Notes
Preview limits
The search and social previews are simplified approximations. Google, Bing, Slack, WhatsApp, Facebook, X, and other platforms can rewrite snippets, crop images differently, or choose alternate text from the page. Use the preview as a drafting aid, not a guarantee.
Practical length guidance
The tool treats roughly 30 to 65 title characters and 70 to 160 description characters as practical ranges. These are not hard rules, but they are useful guardrails for readable snippets that avoid obvious truncation risk.
Canonical and Open Graph URLs
URLs must be absolute HTTP or HTTPS URLs without embedded usernames or passwords. The generated canonical and Open Graph URL tags use normalized browser URL parsing so malformed links are caught before copying.
HTML output
The generated HTML includes title, description, canonical, Open Graph title, description, URL, type, optional site name, and optional image tags. Depending on your stack, you may place these in a framework metadata object instead of pasting raw tags.
Privacy and scope
Previewing happens locally in the browser. The tool does not fetch your page, image URL, or live metadata and does not send drafts to a server.
FAQ
Will search results look exactly like this preview?
No. Search engines can rewrite titles and descriptions based on the query, page content, and indexing decisions. The preview helps catch obvious metadata problems before publishing.
Do I need an Open Graph image?
It is not required for a normal search snippet, but social and chat link previews usually look better and clearer with a dedicated absolute image URL.
Why does the tool reject URLs with usernames or passwords?
Credentials in URLs are risky and can leak through copied tags, browser history, logs, or previews. Metadata should use clean public URLs.
Can this inspect an existing live page?
No. It drafts and previews metadata you type in. Use a crawler or live page inspection tool when you need to audit metadata already published on a URL.
