Structured data (Schema.org) is one of the most important parts of technical SEO.
Correctly implemented JSON-LD helps search engines better understand your content and makes your site eligible for rich results such as star ratings, FAQs, product snippets, and more.
However, a small mistake in JSON-LD can break your structured data. That’s why we created the Schema.org Validator – a free server-side tool to check and validate your schema markup.
Why Validate Schema Markup?
Detect Errors Before They Hurt SEO
Even a missing @type
or invalid JSON format can make Google ignore your markup.
Ensure Rich Results Eligibility
Only valid JSON-LD ensures your pages qualify for Google’s rich results.
Faster Debugging
Instead of guessing what’s wrong, our validator highlights missing fields, invalid contexts, or structural issues.
Features of Schema.org Validator
-
✅ Validate JSON-LD code – Paste your structured data directly and test instantly.
-
🌐 Validate from URL – Fetch a webpage and check all
<script type="application/ld+json">
blocks. -
🔍 Error detection – Identify missing required fields, invalid
@context
, or malformed JSON. -
📊 Detailed report – Shows each block’s type, status (OK or Issues), and warnings.
-
📂 Raw JSON view – Inspect the original JSON-LD block for further debugging.
Example: Testing an Article Schema
Suppose you paste this JSON-LD:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Article",
"headline": "How to Improve SEO in 2025",
"datePublished": "2025-01-10"
}
The Schema.org Validator will return:
-
✅
@context
valid (https://schema.org
) -
✅
@type
detected (Article
) -
⚠️ Missing optional fields like
author
orimage
This allows you to fix the schema before deploying it live.
