How to check the website's meta description?

There are plenty of online services that help you check meta description tags of required websites. For instance, Netpeak Spider provides a detailed analysis of any URL's meta description and key stats. You'll also receive the data on other metrics: indexing and crawling, H1 content and length, whether there are any broken links, etc.

What is meta description max length?

The maximum length of a meta description is the maximum number of characters one should use while writing a meta description. The max length should reach no more than 150-155 characters — just enough for a whole text to fit in the search engine's head section. It ensures excellent readability and helps users get an overall understanding of what they are about to read.

What is the optimal meta description length?

An optimal description length is neither too long nor too short. For instance, a meta description of 140 characters can be an optimal one and may fit just enough helpful information for the reader.

How do you find the page's meta description?

To find the website's meta description, view this page's HTML. In Chrome, for instance, you can right-click on the web page and choose 'view page source' to see the raw HTML. Alternatively, you can select 'inspect element" to view the rendered HTML.
