What the check does

- Long titles are separate: Titles over 60 characters are already reported as Title Too Long
Good to know
The width is an estimate, based on a common font, so treat the 600 px line as a guide. Google decides what it shows in results.

Questions about this check
How wide can a title tag be?
Google cuts titles by width, not by characters. About 600 pixels on desktop is a common guide, which is roughly 50 to 60 characters of normal text.
Why is my short title still cut off?
Capital letters and wide letters such as W and M take more room. A short title made of them can pass a character count and still be too wide.
Does SEOSage check the length of titles too?
Yes. Titles over 60 characters are reported as Title Too Long. The width check covers titles that pass that test.
Is the pixel width exact?
No. It is an estimate based on a common font. Google may show a title differently.
Can I check titles for the whole site at once?
Yes. Every crawl measures the title of every page. For one page, use the free meta description checker.
Is there a page limit?
No. SEOSage has no page limit.
