Meta tag output
Meta title and meta description are the two most visible elements in search results and directly influence click-through rate (CTR). Yet they are often written without checking the real length or SERP appearance, risking truncated titles or descriptions that fail to convey the intended message.
This checker lets you:
- Verify meta title length (recommended limit: 50–60 characters)
- Verify meta description length (recommended limit: 120–158 characters)
- Preview the search result on both desktop and mobile
- Get guidance on truncation and copy optimisation
Useful for both developers and editors: works independently of any SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath) and reflects current Google display limits.
