Title Tag Length Too Long
- December 7, 2025
Quick Reference
Element Code: ON-025
Issue: Title tag exceeds 60 characters and will be truncated in search results
Impact: Important information cut off, ellipsis displayed in SERPs
Fix: Trim to 50-60 characters, front-loading key information
Detection: Screaming Frog, SERP preview tools, character count
What Is This Issue?
Title tags over 60 characters are typically truncated in Google search results, replaced with an ellipsis. This can cut off important keywords, brand names, or value propositions, resulting in a less effective search appearance.
Technical Specifications
| Display | Pixel Width | Character Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | ~600 pixels | ~55-60 characters |
| Mobile | ~500 pixels | ~50-55 characters |
How to Fix This Issue
- Front-Load Keywords: Put the most important terms first
- Remove Filler: Cut unnecessary words and modifiers
- Consider Brand: Move brand name to end or remove if space needed
- Test Display: Use SERP preview tools to see how it renders
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your title tag is too long and will get cut off in search results. Trim it to 60 characters or less. Put your most important keywords at the beginning so they don't get chopped.
