Researching a list of companies from their websites?

- Upload or paste it at /verify. Every address gets a live mailbox check, and the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card.
How do I get the page titles of many websites at once?
- Paste domains, email addresses or URLs, one per line, up to 100 a run or 500 after a free Google sign-in. The domain is taken from each.
- Press Read page titles. Each home page is requested once over HTTPS, then HTTP if HTTPS doesn't answer, following up to five redirects, 10 sites a request.
- Read each row: the title, meta description, first H1 and canonical link, plus the HTTP status and a noindex flag where the robots meta tag says so.
- Filter to sites with no title, noindex pages or sites that didn't answer, and download the CSV.
Example
- You enter
- Three sites:
acme.example(a title and description),globex.example(no title tag) andinitech.example(a noindex robots meta tag). - You get
- acme.example: the title, meta description, first H1 and canonical link. globex.example: No title, with a note that JavaScript-set titles aren't seen. initech.example: its title, flagged noindex. Download the CSV.
- Limits
- Up to 100 a run without an account and 500 when signed in with Google, counted over a minute. 10 sites a request, one GET of each home page, at most 60 requests a minute to one host.
What does it read from each page?
From the first 128 KB of the home page's HTML: the <title> element, the meta name="description" tag (falling back to og:description), the first <h1>, the <link rel="canonical"> URL and the meta name="robots" tag. The HTML standard defines the title as the document's title, the name shown in a browser tab and in search results.
A row with a noindex flag has a robots meta tag containing noindex or none, which asks search engines not to index the page. We read the tag; we don't decide whether the page is indexed. A noindex sent in the X-Robots-Tag header, rather than the HTML, isn't read.
Why does a live site show no title?
Three common reasons. The site is built in JavaScript and sets its title in the browser, which this tool doesn't run. The home page redirects to a login or a cookie wall whose HTML has no title. Or the page is something other than HTML, such as a PDF or an image, and the row says so.
The tool also stops reading after 128 KB, so a title placed unusually late in a very large page can be missed. Open the site in a browser to confirm any row that matters.
What can I use page titles for on a lead list?
A title or meta description is usually how a company describes itself, so it is a quick way to sort a list by what each company does, spot parked or placeholder pages, and write a line that refers to their site. A site with a generic or parked title often has no active business behind it.
To see whether each site is live, redirecting or parked, use the bulk website status checker; to turn domains into company names, the domain to company name tool.
Who uses this tool, and for what?

What can’t this tool tell you?
- Only the home page is requested, once. Inner pages may differ.
- It doesn't run JavaScript, so titles set in the browser aren't seen.
- Only the first 128 KB of the page is read, and a noindex sent as an HTTP header isn't read.
- Sites that block automated or cloud traffic can show 403 or a timeout while loading in a browser.
- Up to 100 sites a run without an account, 500 signed in.
Common questions
- How do I get the title of many websites?
- Paste the domains into a bulk website title checker like this one. It requests each home page and reads the title and meta tags, with a CSV of the results.
- Is this bulk title checker free?
- Yes. It is a free tool: up to 100 sites a run with no account, and up to 500 a run when you sign in with Google, with no card.
- Does it run JavaScript?
- No. It reads the HTML the server sends, so a site that sets its title in the browser can show no title here.
- Does it check meta keywords?
- No. Search engines no longer use the meta keywords tag. It reads the title, description, first H1, canonical link and robots meta tag.
- Does noindex mean the site isn't in Google?
- It means the page asks search engines not to index it. Whether it is indexed is for the search engine to say, and a noindex in an HTTP header isn't read here.
- Why does a site show 403?
- Many sites refuse automated requests. A 403 or 429 here doesn't mean the site is down; open it in a browser to check.

A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
