Missing meta description

HighAuto-fixableMeta DataPer-page checkmeta_desc_missing

What this means

The page has no meta description, so Google composes a snippet from page text. That is not a ranking penalty, but it removes your control over the pitch that decides the click.

How to fix it

Write a 120–160 character description summarising the page and giving a reason to click.

Fix effort

This check is auto-fixable: the change can be written and validated automatically, so CrawlX can open it as a pull request for review.
