Missing meta description

What this check looks for

Checks whether the page has a <meta name="description"> tag in the <head> with non-empty content.

Why it matters

The meta description is the snippet Google usually shows under your title in search results. When it's missing, Google auto-generates one from page text, which is often awkward or off-topic and can lower click-through. A concise, benefit-led description that matches search intent gives you control over how the result reads.

How to fix it
