Paste HTML and check canonical tags for missing, duplicate, or malformed values.
Canonical Tag Checker workflow tips
Use this pasted-input SEO checker for quick page QA before publishing, updating metadata, or reviewing a copied HTML head snippet. For now ClearUtils intentionally avoids live URL crawling so the workflow stays private, fast, and low-risk.
Start with pasted input
Copy the relevant title, description, Open Graph tags, headings, or canonical tag from your CMS or page source and paste it here.
Use checks as guidance
Search engines and social platforms may rewrite snippets. Treat these checks as practical QA signals rather than guaranteed rankings or exact rendering.
