Title tag length checker
Title links in search are truncated by pixel width (roughly 600px on desktop), not a character count. Wide letters (W, M) fill it faster than narrow ones (i, l). 50–60 characters is a common target; this tool shows 30–60 as the comfortable range.

FAQ
How long should a title tag be?
About 50–60 characters is common guidance; it's pixel-based, not a fixed limit.
Is a long title penalized?
Not penalized — just truncated in the result.
Korean titles?
CJK glyphs are wider, so roughly half as many fit → see the Korean page.
