SEO Title Length Checker

Why pixel width matters more than character count

Google truncates titles to fit a container about 580 pixels wide on desktop. Characters are a proxy for that, and a bad one: "WWW Marketing Workshop" and "illiterate initiative" have similar character counts and very different widths.

So a 55-character title in all capitals can be cut while a 62-character lowercase one displays in full. This tool estimates width per character, which is why its verdict sometimes disagrees with character-only checkers.

The estimate is exactly that — an estimate. Google renders with its own font stack and adjusts across devices. Treat anything within about 5% of the limit as borderline rather than confirmed.

What to do with the space

Front-load. Whatever sits past the cut-off is not read, and the words at the start carry the most weight both for matching and for the human decision to click.

A brand suffix is worth roughly 10 to 15 characters of the budget. On a strong brand that trade is fine. On a new site it is space that could have held the qualifier someone actually searched for.

How to use it

1. Enter the page URL — Any public page.
2. Compare characters and pixels — If either exceeds the limit, the title gets cut.
3. Trim from the end — Keep the distinguishing words at the front.
