Google truncates title tags in search results by rendered pixel width, not a fixed character count — so a title full of wide letters can get cut off sooner than one with the same character count but narrower letters.
This checker estimates your title tag's pixel width, not just its character count, to give a more accurate truncation warning.
How it works
Enter your page title. The checker counts characters and separately estimates rendered pixel width using a per-character average width table, then compares that estimate against the typical ~580px display budget Google allows before truncating.
- Enter page title.

Examples
A moderate-length title
A 36-character title like "A Reasonably Short Title Tag Example" comes in at roughly 223px — comfortably within the safe display range.
Who should use it
- Checking a new page title before publishing to avoid unexpected truncation.
- Comparing several draft titles to see which fits most safely within the display budget.
Industry applications
- SEO and content marketing
- Web publishing and content management
Advantages
- Estimates pixel width, a more accurate truncation signal than character count alone.
- Reports both the character count and pixel estimate together for full context.
Limitations
- Pixel width is an estimate, not an exact match to every possible font, device, and browser rendering.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying on character count alone and assuming any title under 60 characters is automatically safe from truncation.
- Front-loading a title with wide, capitalized words which can push it toward truncation sooner than expected.
Best practices
- Put your primary keyword and brand name within the first ~50 characters, since that's reliably visible even in tighter display scenarios.
