META SEO inspector vs OGraph Previewer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick META SEO inspector if

• Fits if you check titles, descriptions and social tags before a page goes live
• Works for teams that need the interface in a language other than English

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're not on Chrome, as the developer names no other browser
• Too light for whole-site audits, since it inspects the page in front of you
• Not for you if you want search volumes or backlinks, which it doesn't show
• Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
• Watch out: it's a one-person project, with requests and bug reports going by email or X

Pick OGraph Previewer if

• Fits if you check og tags on a page before it goes live
• Works for marketers checking a link's title, description and image before they share it

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for social previews beyond Open Graph, as X (Twitter) cards and schema aren't covered
• Watch out: the preview is built from the tags, not the card a given network will actually render
• Skip it if you're not on Chrome, and note the last update was version 2.0.0 in August 2023
• Watch out: it's a one-developer project, and the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply

META SEO inspector

• It is made for Chrome; the developer names no Firefox, Safari or Edge version.
• It inspects the page in front of you and does not crawl a whole site.
• The developer has not identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights do not apply, as the store listing notes.
• It is a one-person project; feature requests and bug reports go to the developer by email or X.

OGraph Previewer

• It covers Open Graph tags only; the listing does not mention X (Twitter) cards, schema or other metadata.
• The preview is an approximation built from the tags, not the card a given network will actually render.
• It is listed for Chrome only and was last updated on August 31, 2023 (version 2.0.0).
• The developer has not identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights do not apply, as the store listing notes.

META SEO inspector

Metadata with length checks

Shows titles and descriptions with their character counts, canonicals and meta robots, and flags tags that are missing, cut off or too long.

Headings and image alt text

Lists the H1 to H6 headings in order and the ALT text of the page's images.

Social tags and JSON-LD

Displays Open Graph and Twitter tags and extracts the page's full JSON-LD schema in one click.

Broken link checker

A newly added checker tests the page's links; the store listing also counts internal and unique links.

Docked side panel

The inspector can stay open in Chrome's side panel while you browse, with dark or light and compact or comfortable themes.

Exports and print reports

Export meta values or a dataset, print a report, and jump to outside site testers and safety checkers from the panel.

OGraph Previewer

Share preview

Shows a preview built from the page's og tags, giving an idea of how the link would appear when shared on social platforms.
