Meta tags and canonical checker

Titles and descriptions are table stakes. Canonicals are where AI visibility quietly dies: a wrong one hands every citation you earn to a different URL.

Why it matters for AI search

Your title is your page’s label in every index AI engines pull from. The description gives them a ready-made summary, and Open Graph adds a second one. Cheap to get right, costly to get wrong.

The canonical deserves the most attention. It names the one true URL for this content, and engines consolidate signals to it. Great content with a canonical pointing elsewhere earns citations for that other URL. GetSlurp verifies yours exists, parses and points at itself.

What GetSlurp checks

This list comes straight from the audit engine, so it always matches what the extension and MCP server actually run.

meta.titleGraded

The title is the page's primary label in every index AI engines retrieve from.

Fix: Write a descriptive title of roughly 15-70 characters.

meta.descriptionGraded

The description is a machine-readable page summary that retrieval systems and snippet builders use.

Fix: Add a meta description of roughly 50-170 characters summarizing the page.

meta.canonicalGraded

A wrong canonical silently redirects all citation credit to a different URL; it is a real citation-loss mechanism.

Fix: Set a self-referencing canonical on each indexable page.

meta.social-cardsGraded

Open Graph fields are a second machine-readable summary that several AI crawlers parse alongside the title.

Fix: Add og:title, og:description and og:image.

meta.url-clarityGraded

Readable, shallow URLs are quoted and cited more reliably than parameter soup.

Fix: Use short word-based paths (2-4 segments) without session or tracking parameters.
