+There is a lot of other page-level metadata in the [custom metrics](/reference/structs/custom-metrics/), which are custom pieces of JavaScript (see [source code](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/custom-metrics/)) run during the crawl to extract information from the page.
+
+Check the custom metrics before falling back to `response_body`. Custom metrics include the post-JavaScript DOM, are far less brittle than regexing HTML, and are significantly faster and cheaper to query.
+
+For example, to get the `title` and `meta_description` you can use:
+```sql
+SELECT
+  page,
+  custom_metrics.wpt_bodies.title.rendered.primary.text AS title,
+  custom_metrics.wpt_bodies.meta_description.rendered.primary.text AS meta_description.
+FROM
+  `httparchive.crawl.pages`
+WHERE
+  ...
+```
+
+The [source code](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/custom-metrics/) of the custom metrics can be useful to understand exactly how they are collected.
