What's the ideal title tag length?
Google displays roughly the first 50–60 charactersof a title tag in the SERP before cutting it off with an ellipsis. Titles longer than that aren't penalised, but the end gets hidden — which often buries your primary keyword or brand name.
For most sites the sweet spot is 50–60 characters, or closer to 600 pixelswide (Google truncates on pixel width, not character count, which is why some 55-character titles fit and others don't). If you're writing titles with narrow characters (lowercase, i, l) you can usually fit a few more; wide characters (W, M) shave a few.
What this title tag checker catches
- Titles that are too long (over 60 chars) and will truncate
- Pages with missing title tags
- Thin or generic titles like "Home" or "Page"
- Exactly how each title renders in Google's SERP
Title tag best practices
- Put your primary keyword near the front. Titles are weighted more heavily than meta descriptions for ranking, and the first few words carry the most SEO signal.
- Include your brand at the end if it fits, separated by a pipe (
|) or dash (-). - Make every title unique. Duplicate titles confuse search engines and cannibalise rankings between pages.
- Write for clicks, not just crawlers. A compelling title on page 2 can outperform a boring one on page 1 in terms of CTR.
