What's the recommended length for a title tag?

Roughly 50-60 characters is the common guideline, though the real limit is Google's pixel width — see the Title Tag Pixel Width Checker for the more precise measure.

What's the recommended length for a meta description?

Around 150-160 characters is the typical guideline before truncation risk increases.

Does exceeding the recommended length always cause truncation?

Not always exactly at that character count, since actual truncation depends on pixel width — but staying within the guideline meaningfully reduces the risk.

Does Meta Title & Description Checker upload my files to a server?

No. Meta Title & Description Checker runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Google truncates titles and descriptions that exceed its display limits, which are measured in pixel width, not simple character count — meaning two titles with the same character count can truncate differently depending on which letters they contain. This tool checks your title and meta description against Google's recommended length guidelines, flagging text that risks truncation before it goes live rather than after you notice it cut off in search results.
