description.accurate
The meta description summarizes this page truthfully
Why it matters
The description is the one sentence you get to write in a search result. A boilerplate line repeated site-wide, or one that promises something the page does not deliver, gets replaced by improvised page text — or gets the click and loses the visitor.
What goflag asks you
Printed under “Needs judgment” with --advisories, alongside the observed facts the answer turns on. goflag never fills in the verdict.
Does the description accurately summarize this page's content, and is it written for this page rather than copied across the site?
How to fix it
This rule ships no snippet, because the remedy is a judgement rather than a line of code: the finding tells you what is out of range, and what to put there is yours to decide.
Says who?
This rule is guideline, and it cites the documentsbelow. Nothing here is goflag’s opinion of what a good page looks like — if you disagree with a finding, this is what you are disagreeing with.
