Multiple meta descriptions

Low priorityOn-page SEO

The page has more than one meta description tag, which sends mixed signals about the snippet to show.

What triggers this issue

  • Page has 2 or more <meta name="description"> tags.

Why it matters

Search engines expect a single description. With several, they may combine them, pick the wrong one or ignore both and write their own.

Like duplicate titles, this usually means a theme and a plugin both output head tags.

How to fix it

  1. Find each tag in the page source.
  2. Keep the one you wrote and turn off the duplicate in your theme, plugin or layout.
