Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

3.0

GPA, above 17 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions we grade

META SEO inspector is a free Chrome extension by the independent developer Andrea Doimo of Omiod that shows the metadata a browser normally hides: titles and descriptions with their lengths, canonicals, meta robots, headings, image alt text, Open Graph and Twitter tags and JSON-LD. Problems are colored red, notes blue and tips yellow. It can stay open in a docked side panel and now includes a broken link checker.

To get you started, here are 7 things to know about META SEO inspector, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No rating on record, but no account and nothing to set up: click the icon, or dock it in the side panel, and the page's metadata is listed.

The report card

Best for a page's hidden metadata in a side panel

META SEO inspector lays out what a browser hides, titles and descriptions with their lengths, canonicals, robots, headings, alt text, social tags and JSON-LD, for free, and can stay docked in Chrome's side panel. It's a one-person project for Chrome only, with no search numbers, and the store says EU consumer rights don't apply because the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader.

Who META SEO inspector is for

  • 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

Who it is not for

  • 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

Good to know

Good for

  • Checking a page's titles, descriptions and social tags before publishing
  • Developers who want metadata in a side panel while they work
  • Teams that need the interface in a language other than English

Worth knowing

  • 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.
