How does your page look in search?
Search cuts your title at a width, not at a character count.
Why the character count lies
Every title checker counts characters, and Google cuts at a pixel width. Those two agree on nothing that matters, because the disagreement is largest exactly where the decision is: at the edge.
Sixty characters is not a length
"Illinois illustrations" and "willow wall" have the same character count and nothing like the same width. One fits, one does not, and no count can tell you which.
The phone cuts far sooner
Most searches happen on a phone, where the space is roughly two thirds of the desktop. A title checked on a desktop preview is checked in the wrong place.
The end is where the reason is
People write the descriptive part first and the reason to click last. The cut takes the reason and leaves the description.
Type it, watch it cut
Type your title and description
Or paste the ones you already have. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Watch the preview redraw
Desktop and phone side by side, with the pixel count against the space available.
Rewrite until it fits
The whole value is watching the cut move as you shorten the line.
What it shows
The real measurement
Your text drawn in Arial at the size Google uses, measured on a canvas. It is the only way to answer this honestly, and it is why this runs in a browser.
Both devices, side by side
The same title against the desktop budget and the phone budget, so you can see which half of your traffic gets the whole thing.
Exactly where it cuts
The preview shows what survives, cut at a word the way search does, with an ellipsis where the rest went.
The breadcrumb, not the address
Search shows a trail built from your path, read before the title on a phone. Deep, ugly paths look exactly as deep and ugly there.
Space you are not using
A description filling half the available width is free room handed back on the one screen where you sit beside your competitors.
What is missing entirely
No title means Google writes one from your headings. No description means it takes two sentences from mid-paragraph, and they read like it.
Straight talk about what it cannot see
It shows what you are offering search. What search does with it is its own decision, and pretending otherwise would be the easiest lie here.
Google rewrites most titles
It substitutes its own when it thinks it has better, on the majority of results. This shows what you are offering, not what will be printed.
The widths are close, not exact
Container widths and fonts move. What makes a pixel budget worth using is not the exact number: it is that a character count is the wrong kind of measurement entirely.
The extras are not shown
Sitelinks, dates, ratings and images come from your structured data and Google's judgement. This draws the plain result, which is what most pages get.
Nothing leaves your machine
The measuring is done by your own browser on a canvas. There is no request to make, which is also why there is no limit on it.
Look at it before you publish it
It is the one screen where you are compared side by side with everyone else answering the same question.
