Meta Title & Description Checker

The meta title (or SEO title) is the text in the <title> HTML element of a webpage. It typically appears as the clickable headline in search engine results and in browser tabs when the page is open.

The meta description is a short summary of a webpage's content, provided via the <meta name="description"> HTML tag. Search engines may use it as the descriptive text in search results, but they can also generate their own description from page content.

There is no universal fixed character limit. Google typically displays around 50 to 60 characters before truncating, but the exact cut-off depends on pixel width, the search query and the device. Aim for a title that reads well within that range.

There is no guaranteed fixed limit. Google commonly displays around 150 to 160 characters, but the actual length varies based on the search query, device and page content. Aim for a concise, compelling summary.

No. Characters have different widths, so pixel width is a more accurate estimate of how much space a title occupies. Character count is a useful guide, but pixel width gives a better sense of potential truncation.

Pixel width is the estimated rendered width of a text string in pixels. Search engines use pixel width, not just character count, to decide when to truncate titles and descriptions. This tool estimates pixel width using browser text measurement.

Yes. Google may truncate titles that exceed the available display width, typically adding an ellipsis. Google may also rewrite titles based on the search query and page content. This tool estimates potential truncation risk but cannot predict exactly what Google will display.

Including your primary keyword in the title can help users and search engines understand what the page is about. The keyword should appear naturally and accurately describe the page. Avoid keyword stuffing or forcing keywords where they don't fit.

Including your keyword in the description can help it appear in context for relevant searches. However, Google may generate its own description from page content. Write a description that reads naturally and accurately summarises the page.

A well-written meta description can improve click-through rate from search results, which may indirectly benefit your page. However, the meta description itself is not a direct ranking factor. This tool does not predict Google rankings.

The tool is usage-limited rather than unlimited free. You get a limited number of free checks per day, and your allowance is checked before use. For more checks and higher usage limits, upgrade to Pro.
