FAQ

Which meta tags are most important for SEO?

title, description, canonical, and robots are critical. og:image matters for social shares. hreflang matters if you have multilingual content.

Can it follow redirects?

Yes. Meta tags are extracted from the final URL after redirects.

Does it render JavaScript?

No. Tags are extracted from initial HTML only. If your site renders tags client-side, this actor won't see them.

What issues are flagged?

Truncated titles (>60 chars), missing description, missing canonical, missing og:image, duplicate meta description.

Does it render JavaScript?

No — it parses raw HTML. Tags injected by client-side JS won't be captured.

Can I extract structured data (JSON-LD)?

Basic Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata only. JSON-LD parsing is on the roadmap.
