Google Rich Results Test
What it is
Google Rich Results Test is a free web tool for checking whether a page’s structured data can support special features in Google Search. You can enter a complete URL or paste code and rerun the test. It accepts JSON-LD, RDFa, and Microdata, and can render JavaScript while analyzing a page. Testing can use a smartphone or desktop user agent, with smartphone selected by default. Results identify rich result types and list structured-data errors or suggestions. An explorer displays relevant rendered source code, while some result types include possible Search or Google Assistant previews for desktop and mobile layouts. Browser links let you share results without permissions, and test state and code are saved for about 90 days, including bookmarked history. Anonymous use does not require Search Console access, but pages and resources must be reachable publicly. Google does not promise that previews will match eventual Search results.
