Title Tag Checker

Google truncates title tags by pixel width (~580px on desktop), not characters — so 'W'-heavy titles get cut sooner than 'i'-heavy ones. This checker estimates the rendered pixel width alongside character count, and flags CTR signals like numbers and separators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a title tag be in 2026?

30–60 characters and under ~580 pixels. Shorter titles waste the space that could carry keywords; longer ones get truncated with an ellipsis.

Why does Google rewrite my title?

Google rewrites titles it considers too long, keyword-stuffed, or mismatched with the query. Concise, accurate titles that match H1 intent are rewritten far less often.

Do keywords at the start of the title matter?

Front-loading the primary keyword gives a small relevance edge and — more importantly — survives truncation, so searchers always see it.
