Fetched page is missing one or more basic metadata elements

ShipReady did not find a title element, description meta element, or og:title meta element in the fetched page markup.

Why it matters

These elements provide page and sharing context. Their absence is useful to review before relying on search or link previews.

How ShipReady detects it

What it inspects

ShipReady inspects the fetched content-serving page HTML for a title element, a meta element with name=description, and a meta element with property=og:title.

What triggers a finding

The rule triggers when one or more of those three markup patterns is absent.

What the evidence shows

The fetched HTML did not contain one or more of ShipReady's three supported metadata patterns.

Limits of this check

ShipReady does not validate metadata values, inspect all metadata formats, render JavaScript, test search-engine indexing, or test how every social platform generates a preview. It evaluates eligible fetched pages rather than every route.

How to fix it

Add the intended page metadata

Set an appropriate title, description, and og:title in the page or its shared metadata configuration. Ensure page-specific routes can override shared defaults where needed.

How to verify the change

Inspect the deployed HTML

Fetch the affected URL and confirm the intended title, description, and og:title elements are present in the returned HTML.

Expected: The deployed response contains the metadata elements required by your publishing policy.
