About Rich Results and Schema Validator
Rich Results and Schema Validator is an independent structured-data testing workspace for public webpages and pasted code. It extracts JSON-LD, reports Microdata and RDFa types, checks JSON syntax, identifies common Schema.org objects, and compares major types against a maintained Google-style property profile. Results separate critical errors, recommended-property warnings, and informational findings so developers and search professionals can prioritize fixes. The validator is not affiliated with Google, and a passing test does not guarantee that any search engine will display a rich result.
How to use Rich Results and Schema Validator
- Choose Test live URL or Test schema code.
- For URL testing, enter a public HTTP or HTTPS page and start the protected server-assisted check.
- For code testing, paste a JSON-LD object or an HTML script block.
- Review detected types, syntax errors, required-property errors, and recommended-property warnings.
- Expand an item to inspect the extracted JSON-LD, then correct the source page and test it again.
Practical example
For example, paste Product JSON-LD containing a name, image, description, and Offer. The validator lists the detected Product item, reports missing or malformed properties, and shows the parsed object for review.
Common uses
Use the validator before publishing structured data, while debugging a Search Console enhancement report, when reviewing agency implementation work, or when comparing a generated schema block with the visible page content.
