my page /cart appears to be missing a meta description tag, how to fix?

New to shopify, first time posting, not sure i will get t his correct this first time so tell me if i am doing this incorrectly’

I am using a site called SEOptimer and in its scan it said

Your page appears to be missing a meta description tag.

mysite/cart

how do i get to this /cart page to fix this

thank you for that Michpeach for the response

not afraid to go into edit code, if that is what you are telling me to do

if it is, where in the code do i put it theme.liquid or somewhere else

if it is theme.liquid, where afterr the opening and before closing

or somewhere else

if not theme.liquid where?

in not in edit code where?

as I said I am new and this is all new to me,

thank you

@cjhinkle Which theme do you use for it? Anyway, you can find cart.liquid on the sections folder of the project. And then customize something on it.
Or If you use visual studio code, please use it and search after open the project.
I want it’s help for your question

First, sorry about that it is Dawn Theme

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

I went to layout/theme.liquid

Found that there was no meta name for cart, then added this

{% if template == ‘cart’ %}

{% endif %}

I will tell you I DO NOT know how to write code. I asked the BOT and he wrote it for me, he/she has become my best friend

In addition, I went to a live site and added a product to my cart, well you cannot see meta desc.

So I did a Page Inspect and I could then see my description was there in the code

@cjhinkle It’s congratulations to find the solution how to fix it yourself. I think like this:

The  tag you’ve written will not be visible directly on the website page to visitors.

Additionally, you could ask questions to chatgpt and shopify community. But I feel community is better than gpt. Gpt will be solved easy problems, but you need to research more detail about the difficult problems. Anyway, please share or let me know what do you have any questions.
Regards :hugs:

but please educate me, I have heard about chatgpt, but never used it, so would not have gone there

that is not the shopify BOT is it?

and when the BOT does help me sometime we go in circles so I have to stop and then I research on my own, but ususally before I implement i always check with the BOT

in addition, are you kidding me , YES I have a bunch more problems, I will be posting for help as I move down my list

thank yoy

it’s chatgpt url. chatgpt.com.

you can ask unknown problems on it. It will be a lot of helps for you. I hope your working is well. Thank you

Hi @cjhinkle

If you encounter the missing meta description issue, please directly check by accessing the source code page and searching for <meta name="description to see if you can find out the related content or not.

If the answer is empty in the search result of the source code page, then it means your store indeed has no meta description detected properly, and you can share the store URL here with me. I’m willing to do a further check for you specifically. Thank you!

thank you so much, i did what you suggested and it put me to rest, i can see it for sure now

I will accept this as the solution, thanks for getting back to me
