What This Tool Does
This checker measures SEO title and meta description length against common search snippet guidelines, estimates pixel width, and previews how your result may look on desktop and mobile. Title targets 50–60 characters; descriptions target 120–160 characters. Status badges flag content that may truncate in search results. After tuning meta fields, create the URL slug with Slug Generator or count characters with Character Counter.

Clear, specific titles with the main keyword near the start.

Notes & Limitations
Character limits are guidelines — Google may show more or fewer characters depending on device, query, and pixel width. Pixel estimates use average character widths; actual rendering varies by font and special characters. All checks run locally in your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal SEO title length?
Most SEO guides recommend 50–60 characters so titles display fully in search results without truncation.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Aim for 120–160 characters to reduce truncation and give enough space for a compelling summary.
Does Google use pixels or characters?
Both. Character counts are useful quick guidelines, but Google also truncates by pixel width, font, and device — so wide characters may shorten sooner than the count suggests.
Why does my title get truncated?
Titles over ~60 characters or wide characters may exceed the pixel limit. The preview fades text when likely truncated.
Should my keyword be at the start of the title?
Placing the main keyword near the beginning helps users and search engines understand the page topic quickly. This tool flags when a keyword appears within the first 20 characters.
Can I preview mobile snippets?
Yes. Switch to the Mobile tab in the SERP preview to see a narrower layout with stricter truncation rules.
Does this tool upload my metadata?
No. All checks and previews run locally in your browser — your metadata never leaves your device.
Can I download the result?
Yes. Use Download .txt to save title, description, status, word counts, and preview text as a plain-text report.
