SEO Length Checker

Check title and description length as editing guidance.

Editing guides: title 30–60 and description 120–160 characters. Counts use JavaScript UTF-16 units; widths are rough character estimates, not measured rendering or ranking predictions.

How to use

See character counts, approximate widths and an illustrative snippet.

1

Enter your title and description

Paste the text into the two fields. Character counts and approximate widths update as you type.

2

Compare the guide ranges

Treat the indicators as editing prompts. Width is estimated from character classes and does not measure the exact font or distinguish every wide and narrow glyph.

3

Review clarity and actual results

Prefer useful, accurate wording over filling a character quota. The preview is illustrative; a green indicator cannot ensure an untruncated snippet or a ranking improvement.

Examples and checks

How this tool works

Counts JavaScript string length and estimates width from character classes. Illustrative previews shorten text at fixed thresholds.

  • Engine: Character counts and fixed character-class width estimates
  • Supported input: Title and description text
  • Output: Counts, approximate widths and illustrative previews
Input
iii and www entered separately as a title
Output
Both have 3 characters and the same 33 px estimate, illustrating the limitation of the width heuristic.

Limits and questions

Inputs are processed in your browser. Analytics and advertising can make separate network requests.

Limits, edge cases, and troubleshooting

Use the preview to spot verbose copy, then prioritize clarity over filling a quota.

  • Guideline ranges are application choices, not fixed search-engine limits.
  • No font measurement or guaranteed rendering.
  • Search engines can rewrite titles and descriptions; display varies.

When to use another workflow

Inspect actual search results and official search documentation when investigating how a page is displayed.

Verification

Implementation checked on 2026-09-27. The displayed example and documented limits were checked with synthetic inputs. Unsupported input and the distinction between an estimate and a verified result were reviewed.

Frequently asked questions

Does a green indicator guarantee full display?
No. Display varies by device and query, and search engines can choose different title or snippet text. The tool cannot predict the final result.
Is the pixel width measured from a font?
No. It is an approximation using fixed character-class widths. For example, narrow and wide lowercase letters share an estimated width here, even though real fonts render them differently.
