Free Title & Meta Description Checker

It checks your title tag and meta description specifically — character length, truncation risk, and how both will render in a Google search result. For a full audit that also covers Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, use the Meta Tag Analyzer instead.

Aim for 50 to 60 characters. Google typically truncates titles around 580-600 pixels, which usually lands in that character range — this tool flags when your title is likely to get cut off in search results.

Roughly 120 to 160 characters. Longer descriptions risk truncation with an ellipsis in the search snippet, which can cut off your call to action before a searcher reads it.

This tool is a fast title and description checker with a live Google SERP preview — paste your title and description, see exactly how they'll look in search results. The Meta Tag Analyzer crawls a live URL and audits its full meta tag set, including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for social sharing.

Google renders titles and descriptions in a pixel-width container, not a fixed character count — wide characters (like capital letters and "W") take up more space than narrow ones (like "i" or "l"). This tool uses a character-length estimate as a practical proxy for that limit.

Recheck whenever you edit a page's title or description, and audit your highest-traffic pages at least quarterly — CMS updates, plugin changes, or template edits can silently alter these tags without you noticing.
