SEO Meta Tag Length Checker

Validieren Sie Ihr Title-Tag und die Meta-Beschreibung nach Zeichenanzahl UND Pixelbreite — die Metrik, die Google tatsächlich zum Abschneiden von Snippets verwendet. Inklusive SERP-Vorschau.

Wann verwenden

Use the SEO meta length checker on every page before publishing. Both title and description should fit the SERP layout cleanly — too short wastes space, too long gets truncated with an ellipsis.

Vergleich

Character-only counters miss the truncation rule (Google uses pixel width). This tool combines both metrics so you can defend either to a stakeholder.

So funktioniert es

Google truncates titles and descriptions by pixel width, not character count. Arial-ish fonts mean E and i are narrow, M and W are wide.

This tool combines character count with a pixel-width estimate calibrated to Google's snippet font, and shows a SERP mockup so you can preview the truncation.

Mobile and desktop use different widths; toggle the device selector to see both.

Häufige Fragen

Why does Google sometimes change my title?

Google rewrites titles based on the search query and what it thinks the user wants. Your tag is a strong suggestion, not a guarantee.

Pixels or characters — which matters?

Pixels. Google truncates by visible width, so a description full of "iiiii" can fit more characters than one full of "WWWWW".

Mobile vs. desktop limits?

Mobile is narrower. Titles: ~520px mobile, ~580px desktop. Descriptions: ~860px mobile, ~960px desktop. Test both.

Beispiel

Eingabe

Title: "Free Online Readability Calculator — Redmoon" (47 chars / 458px)

Ausgabe

Title: good · Description: short (90 chars / 545px)

Google truncates by pixel width, not character count. 580px is roughly 60 characters in Arial. The status uses the device width to flag short / good / long.

Häufige Fehler

  • Google can rewrite titles and descriptions in the SERP — your tag is a strong suggestion, not a guarantee.
  • Mobile and desktop have different pixel limits; check both.
  • Title and description rendering varies by query, device, and Google's own A/B tests.
  • Adding keywords to fill the limit hurts CTR — write for humans first.
