Meta Tags Extractor
A meta tags extractor pulls every meta tag out of a page's HTML so you can review them in one table. Paste the source code and this free tool lists the title, meta description, robots rules, viewport, Open Graph and Twitter tags, canonical and hreflang links, and any other meta tags, with notes on duplicates and empty values.
Paste the rendered HTML if tags are added by scripts.

Notes
What is a meta tags extractor and when should you use it?
Meta tags are spread through the head of a page, often added by several plugins. Seeing them in one list makes it easy to spot duplicates, empty values and leftover rules such as an old noindex. The tool doesn't load the page; paste the rendered HTML if tags are added by scripts. Fix titles with the Meta Tags Generator, and check the canonical tag in detail with the Canonical Tag Checker.
How do you use it?
- Open the page, view its source and copy it.
- Paste it here and press Extract.
- Review each group and the notes.
- Download the list if you need it.

Result interpretation & practical applications
When evaluating the output of the meta tags extractor, review the parsed metrics against your specific site architecture. Outputs are formatted for direct implementation into your HTML source, web server configuration, or Google Search Console audit files.
Always inspect generated values for contextual nuance. Automated tools highlight structural patterns, but manual verification confirms that technical directives align with your overarching SEO strategy.
Technical rules and limitations
- Robots rules are read using Google's supported list.
- noarchive and nocache are flagged as not used by Google Search.
- Google respects robots meta tags in the body as well as the head.
Google's robots meta tag specifications and its list of meta tags Google supports.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
