What your CMS shows you, and what actually ships in the page
These are the tags actually served, after every plugin and tag manager has had its turn. That is the version a search engine reads.
Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is stored.
You can already read your title and description inside your CMS. That is not the same as knowing what a search engine receives. Several systems write into the same page head, and the last one to run is the one that ships: a theme and a plugin each emitting a title, a tag injected after load, a staging noindex that survived the move to production.
How to use it
How it works
Paste a published address
Not a draft: the tool reads that exact address, as an anonymous visitor receives it.
Read the indexing directive first
While a noindex is lying around, nothing else on the page decides anything.
Work down the four groups
Indexing, search snippet, social sharing, technical. In that order of severity.
Worth knowing
Four things to keep in mind
A forgotten noindex costs the whole page
Everything else on this list costs you clicks. That one costs you the page, and it is the only problem invisible from inside a CMS.
Two title tags
Almost always a theme and a plugin each emitting one. Switch it off at the source rather than overriding it, or Google keeps picking whichever it prefers.
The description ranks nothing
Google rewrites it on a large share of results, usually lifting a passage from the page. It decides the click, not the position, which is still a good reason to write it well.
Recheck after every deploy
Plugins, tag managers and edge middleware rewrite the page head after the CMS is done. The only version that counts is the one that shipped.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Because several systems write into the same page head and the last one wins. A plugin, a theme, a tag manager can each add or overwrite a tag, and your CMS only ever shows you its own.
Four carry weight: a unique title, a unique description, a canonical pointing at the page, and a robots directive that permits indexing. A viewport tag is required for mobile rendering. Everything else is optional for search.
Aim for 50 to 60 characters. Google truncates on pixel width rather than character count, so a title in wide capitals gets cut earlier than another of the same length. Put what decides the click in the first 50 characters.
No, it makes an anonymous request, exactly like a crawler. That is usually the right test: if it cannot see your tags, Googlebot probably cannot either.
