About the Meta Title & Description Checker
Google truncates titles by pixel width (roughly 580 px on desktop) and descriptions around 150–160 characters. This tool measures both.
Google may rewrite titles and descriptions, but a well-written one improves the chance it uses yours.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ideal title length?
Aim for about 50–60 characters, or under roughly 580 pixels.
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly, but a good description can improve click-through rate.
