What metadata does this scrape?

Title, description, og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, twitter:card, twitter:image, schema.org JSON-LD, canonical, robots, viewport.

To audit your own social previews, debug missing tags, research competitors, validate after CMS changes.

Does this work on JS-heavy sites?

Server-rendered metadata is captured. JS-injected metadata may be missed.

Can I scrape multiple URLs?

One at a time in this tool. For batch operations, use Screaming Frog.

Is the result the same as what Google sees?

Yes, server-rendered HTML matches what crawlers see.

Why is some metadata missing?

The page does not set those tags. Add them in your CMS or theme.

Does scraping respect robots.txt?

For metadata only (single page fetch), no crawl rules apply — standard browser-equivalent behavior.

What about authentication-protected pages?

Cannot scrape pages behind login. Use authenticated browser DevTools instead.

Copy individual fields, or copy the full JSON output.

Will the site know I scraped it?

It looks like a normal HTTP request from our server. No more visible than any browser visit.

What is the OG image preview?

Shows how the URL looks when shared on social media.
