A quick health snapshot: status, title, meta, canonical, viewport, and more.

Step by step

How to use the Website Checker

  1. Enter the website URL in the Website URL field.
  2. Click Check website to fetch the live page.
  3. Read the HTTP status, HTTPS, Indexable, and Page size stats.
  4. Review the Overview table for title, meta description, canonical, viewport, and H1 count.

Pro tip: Aim for a single H1 and a 30-65 character title; the table flags both with a warning tone when off.

A one-glance health card

Give the tool a page address and our Cloudflare edge retrieves the HTML, follows any redirects, and pulls out the handful of signals that decide whether a page is set up sensibly for search and sharing. Rather than scrolling through view-source, you get a compact overview: did the page return 200, is it on HTTPS, is it indexable, how heavy is the HTML, and are the core head tags present and a reasonable length.

It is the check to run first on any page before reaching for deeper, more specialised audits, because it surfaces the most common mistakes in one pass.

Signals it surfaces

  • HTTP status, HTTPS, and indexability — confirms the page loads, is served securely, and is not blocked by a noindex robots directive.
  • Title and its length — the headline search engines and social cards lean on; the snapshot shows the text and flags it when it falls outside roughly 30 to 65 characters.
  • Meta description and its length — shown with a similar length check, flagged outside roughly 70 to 165 characters so it is less likely to be truncated.
  • Canonical and meta robots — reveals which URL the page nominates as primary and whether any indexing directive is set, both common sources of duplicate-content and indexing confusion.
  • Viewport, charset, and H1 count — indicates the page declares responsive behaviour, names its character encoding, and uses exactly one top-level heading.
  • Page size, image count, Server header, content type, and redirect count — extra context pulled from the same response.

How to act on the snapshot

Treat each missing, default, or out-of-range value as a to-do. A missing title or description is a quick content fix, and a flagged length is a nudge to tighten or expand the text so it displays cleanly in results. A canonical that points at a different page than you intended can quietly suppress the page you actually want indexed, and a meta robots tag containing noindex will keep it out of search entirely. A missing viewport tag suggests the page may not adapt to phones, more than one H1 muddies the page structure, and an unusually large HTML payload is worth trimming. The snapshot tells you where to look; the actual edits happen in your CMS or template.

Scope and limitations

Everything reported is read from the HTML returned at request time, so signals injected later by JavaScript may not be captured. The length thresholds are sensible rules of thumb, not hard rules, and the tool reports what the tags contain rather than judging whether the wording is compelling for your audience, which remains your call. The page-size figure is the weight of the HTML document itself, not the full page including images, scripts, and fonts. Pages that block automated fetches with our identified tool user agent, or that require a login, may return an error or partial content instead of the real page. Only publicly reachable URLs can be checked.

Worked examples

Typical inputs, typical outputs

A page missing its description

Input: https://example.com/blog/post

Output: Status: 200 · HTTPS: Yes · Indexable: Yes · Page size: 38 KB • Title: "How We Built It" (15 chars, flagged short) · Meta description: (missing) · Canonical: self · Viewport: Present · H1 tags: 1

The absent description and the short title are two easy wins to add.

A page accidentally set to noindex

Input: https://example.com/landing

Output: Status: 200 · HTTPS: Yes · Indexable: No • Meta robots: noindex, follow · Title: "Spring Sale" (11 chars) · Viewport: Present · H1 tags: 2

The noindex tag will keep this page out of search; the two H1s are a smaller cleanup.

FAQ

Website Checker FAQ, answered

Is this a full SEO audit?

No. It is a fast snapshot of core on-page signals. For a scored review use the SEO score checker, and for one element in depth use the dedicated tools for links, Open Graph, or page size.

What do the title and description length flags mean?

They are sensible ranges, roughly 30 to 65 characters for the title and 70 to 165 for the description, that tend to display without truncation. A flag is a nudge to review the length, not a hard error.

Why does the canonical point to a different URL?

The page is nominating that other address as its primary version. If that is unintended, it can stop the page you care about from being indexed, so it is worth correcting.

Does the page-size number include images and scripts?

No. It measures the weight of the returned HTML document only. For a fuller picture of total page weight, use the page size checker.

Can it check a page behind a login?

No. The edge fetches the page anonymously, so anything requiring authentication will not be retrieved.

Does it judge whether my title is good?

It reports the title that exists and whether its length is reasonable. Deciding if the wording is compelling for your audience is left to you.
