Title Tag Length Checker

A title tag is the HTML <title> element that names a web page. Search engines use it as the clickable blue headline in results, and browsers show it on tabs and bookmarks. Google does not enforce a fixed character limit; instead it allocates a fixed horizontal space — commonly cited as roughly 580 pixels on desktop — and rewrites or truncates any title that overflows, usually appending an ellipsis. Because letters have different widths (a 'W' or 'm' is far wider than an 'i' or 'l'), two titles with the same character count can render at very different pixel widths, which is why a pixel estimate is more reliable than a raw count. This tool checks both: it flags titles over 60 characters and estimates pixel width by summing per-character widths. Note the estimate is deliberately rough — it uses a small hardcoded width table tuned for an Arial-like 13px font and falls back to 7 pixels for any character not in that table, so accented letters, digits, and symbols are approximated rather than precisely measured. Treat the result as a quick sanity check, not a pixel-perfect rendering. Google may also rewrite titles regardless of length when it judges another phrasing more relevant.
