SEO Title Analyzer
Measures a page title in characters and estimated pixels, shows roughly where desktop search results would cut it off, and checks an optional focus keyword and repeated words.
About the SEO Title Analyzer
Search results show a page’s title as a clickable headline, and on desktop Google typically cuts titles off at around 600 pixels wide, replacing the rest with an ellipsis. Pixel width matters more than character count: a title full of wide letters such as W and M reaches that point much sooner than one full of narrow letters such as i and l. This analyzer measures both.
As you type, the tool measures the title with your browser’s canvas text measurement in 20px Arial, the font and size commonly used to approximate desktop result titles, and compares it with roughly 600 px. Up to 560 px is shown as fitting, 560–600 px as borderline, and anything wider as likely to be cut off. The preview below the inputs shows where the cut would fall on that estimate.
Add an optional focus keyword to check that it appears in the title and that it ends before the likely cut-off point; the tool also tells you the character position where it starts. A further check lists words of four or more letters that appear more than once, a common sign of keyword stuffing. There is deliberately no overall score: these checks are guidance, not rules, and Google may rewrite any title it finds unhelpful, whatever its length.
Once the title works, generate the rest of the head tags with the Meta Tag Generator, or check whether the body text overuses a phrase with the Keyword Density Checker.

What it can do
Pixel width estimate
Measured in 20px Arial with the browser’s canvas and compared with about 600 px.
Truncation preview
Shows the title shortened with an ellipsis at the estimated cut-off point.
Character and word count
With notes for very short titles and for titles over 60 characters.
Focus keyword check
Confirms the phrase is present, where it starts, and whether it ends before the cut-off.
Repeated-word check
Lists words of four or more letters that appear more than once.
Limitations
- Widths are estimates. They depend on Arial or the substitute font your device uses, and Google does not publish an exact limit.
- Mobile results wrap titles onto more lines and follow different limits; the preview approximates desktop results only.
- It cannot predict when Google will replace a title with a heading or other text from the page.
- The keyword check looks for the exact phrase, ignoring case; plurals and other word forms don’t count.
Privacy
Titles and keywords are measured in your browser and never sent to FlexyPdf.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a page title be?
There is no official character limit. Titles of about 50–60 characters usually fit on desktop, but the real constraint is width, roughly 600 pixels. Put the words that matter first so that a shortened title still makes sense.
Why is my shorter title too wide?
Letters have different widths. Capitals and letters like W and M are much wider than i, l or t, so a 50-character title in capitals can be wider than a 65-character title in lower case.
Does a cut-off title hurt rankings?
Not directly; search engines still read the whole title. A truncated title can be less clear to searchers, which may make them less likely to click, so lead with the main topic.
Why does Google show a different title from mine?
Google may build its own title link from the page’s headings, link text or other content when it judges the title tag too long, stuffed with keywords, repetitive or not descriptive. A concise, accurate title that matches the main heading is the most likely to be shown as written.
Should every title end with the brand name?
Many sites add a separator and the brand at the end, but the brand uses up width. On long titles consider dropping it; Google often shows the site name separately in results anyway.
