What Is Meta Tags Preview?

It reads a page's title, meta description and social tags and shows how the page is likely to look as a Google search result and as a social media share card.

When to Use It

  • Before publishing or sharing an important page.
  • When writing titles and descriptions.

How to Use It

  1. Enter the page URL.
  2. Review the search and social previews.

Understanding the Result

If the preview is cut off, shorten the title or description. If the social card has no image, add an og:image.

Limitations

Previews are approximations - Google and social platforms may change the text or crop images differently.

The Tags That Control Previews

<title>Free SSL Checker - Check Certificate Expiry | Byteary</title>
<meta name="description" content="Check any website's SSL certificate...">
<meta property="og:title" content="Free SSL Checker">
<meta property="og:description" content="Expiry, issuer and TLS version in seconds.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og/ssl-checker.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

Checklist Before You Publish

  • Title: about 50-60 characters, the main topic first, brand last.
  • Description: about 120-160 characters, specific and useful.
  • og:image: 1200 × 630 pixels, an absolute URL, JPG or PNG, under a few MB. WebP is not shown by every app.
  • og:url matching the canonical URL, so shares of different URL versions combine.

Why a Shared Link Shows the Old Preview

Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and X cache previews. After changing tags, use each platform's debugger or post inspector to refresh it, or add a query string such as ?v=2 when sharing.

Check each part in detail with the Meta Description Checker, Open Graph Checker and Twitter Card Checker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Those tools give you a pass/fail check of whether your tags exist and are reasonable lengths. This tool shows you a visual mockup of exactly how those tags actually render as a search result and a social card.

This means no og:image meta tag was found on the page - most platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack) will show a blank or generic preview without one.

It's a close approximation using your actual title and meta description - Google sometimes rewrites the displayed snippet based on the search query and page content, so the real result can vary slightly.
