Search engines don't take my meta tags into consideration

Expensiveee posted this in #help-forum
I've propetly set my metadata on my pages/layouts, set a sitemap.xml, have a robots.txt but google still take some random part of my page's content and use it as description of that page. Titles seem to be respected, but I feel like everythig else isn't. Also when typing my literal website domain it doesn't display all the links nicely in a list like i'd do for any other website

Where’s the description here ?
Idk if it’s how it’s supposed to be tbh

google doesn't use meta description most of the time, rather relies on the page content directly. so you need to make the page content crawler friendly as well. i found using semantic html to be quite helpful in this, the description on google for my case improved a lot after i started following semantic html more strictly

But I’m not looking for me description to be in a snippet, just for when you type my website, idk if that’s the same

I refreshed the snippet somehow on google search console yesterday, that why here there’s no description in this screenshot
Iv also updates the title of the homepage from Vital to
Vital Proxies, that what I can detect when google scraps my website and gets all the metataga

So before it had no description and only “Vital” as a title
Now it has “Vital Proxies” as a title, meaning it re-scrapped my content BUT the description is now the content of the page, again.
Home page is weird
By the sign in page takes the right description tag without an issue
