Page titles get cut off in search results and browser tabs, and a title that reads well in your editor can lose its ending where it matters.
Title Checker measures the title against a 60-character guide and warns past 70, so you can trim a brand suffix or reorder words before the title is truncated.
How to use Title Checker
- Paste your page title tag into the box.
- Watch the count against 60 characters; the gauge warns past 70.
- Trim the brand suffix or front-load key words until the title fits.
Use cases
- Sizing an SEO title tag before publishing a page.
- Reviewing titles in a CMS against a length guide.
- Prepping a SERP snippet so the title is not clipped.
Good to know
Character count is only an approximation of how a title displays, because search engines truncate by pixel width rather than by a fixed character number. Counting is grapheme-aware, and front-loading the important words helps when the end is at risk of being cut.
Frequently asked questions
What title length is safe for search results?
Around 60 characters is a useful guide, with a warning past 70, but the real cut-off depends on pixel width, not just character count.
Is a title tag the same as a headline?
No. A title tag is the SEO title shown in search; an on-page headline is for readers. The headline analyzer suits the latter.
Why is the limit based on characters if display varies?
Characters are a practical proxy. Search engines truncate by width, so keep a margin and front-load key words.
