Warning meta-description-missing

Homepage has a meta description

What this check means

Checks for a <meta name="description"> on your homepage.

Why it matters

The description is a summary you control. Without one, any AI system describing your site writes its own from whatever body text it finds first — often navigation or a cookie banner.

How we detect it

We read <meta name="description"> from the parsed homepage and require non-empty content. Attribute order does not matter.

How to fix it

Add a one- or two-sentence description of what your organisation does.

Check whether this applies to your site.
