Free Meta Title Checker
Google truncates titles by pixels, not characters — and most checkers ignore that. NToolHub's free Meta Title Checker measures your title tag in both characters and real pixel width (via canvas rendering), so you know exactly whether it will display in full. Title optimizers use it to end truncation guesswork.
How to Use the Meta Title Checker
- Paste the page HTML and click Analyze.
- Check the character count and estimated pixel width.
- Keep titles between 50–60 characters (under ~600px) to avoid truncation.
- Put your primary keyword near the start of the title.
Features
Paste page HTML to extract the title tag automatically, with character count, canvas-measured pixel width against Google's ~600px limit, a visual fill bar, and verdicts for too-short, ideal and truncated titles — including multiple-title detection.
Benefits & Use Cases
Full-display titles earn more clicks than truncated ones with cut-off keywords. Nailing the 50–60 character / 600px window means your carefully crafted headline actually reaches searchers intact.
Tips
Keep titles 50–60 characters, put the primary keyword near the front (in case of partial truncation), make every page's title unique, and match the title's promise to the page content.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a title tag be?
Google displays about 600 pixels — roughly 50–60 characters depending on letter widths. Longer titles get truncated with an ellipsis.
Why measure pixels instead of characters?
Wide letters (W, M) consume more space than narrow ones (i, l). Two 60-character titles can differ by 100+ pixels — pixel measurement is the accurate test.
Should the keyword go first in the title?
Yes, when natural. Front-loading protects against truncation cutting your keyword, and it matches how searchers scan results.
Why does Google rewrite my title?
Google rewrites titles it deems poor: stuffed, boilerplate, or mismatched to content. Unique, accurate titles under 60 characters are rarely rewritten.
