Free Title Tag Checker
Enter a URL to check if it has a title tag and whether its length falls within the recommended 20-70 character range.
What this title tag checker checks
This free title tag checker fetches your page and reports whether it has a title tag and whether its length falls inside the 20 to 70 character range the checker flags against (aim for 30 to 60 as the display sweet spot). The title tag is the clickable headline in search results and the label in the browser tab, and it is one of the strongest on-page signals of what a page is about.
It works as a title tag checker for WordPress, Shopify, and any other platform, because it reads the rendered page. For sizing companion copy, see the meta descriptions guide.
Why the title tag matters
The title tag carries real ranking weight and is the first thing a searcher reads. A vague or duplicated title costs you clicks and rankings; a specific one that leads with the term people search and includes your brand earns both.
Length matters because Google truncates long titles. The 30 to 60 character range is a practical proxy: Google actually measures pixel width (roughly 600 pixels), so a title full of wide characters can truncate a little earlier and one full of narrow characters a little later. Staying in range keeps the title readable in full on most results.
How to fix a missing or badly sized title
Write a unique title for each important page: lead with the primary keyword, keep it descriptive, and add your brand at the end where space allows.
- WordPress: set the SEO title in your SEO plugin's snippet editor rather than relying on the raw post title.
- Shopify: edit the "Search engine listing" title on the product, collection, or page.
- Squarespace and Wix: set the SEO title per page in the SEO panel, not just the navigation label.
Honest limits
This tool checks the single page you enter and flags titles outside 20 to 70 characters as a truncation proxy rather than measuring exact pixel width. It does not rewrite the title for you.

Frequently asked questions
Is this title tag checker free?
Yes, free with no signup, up to 15 checks per hour.
What is the ideal title tag length?
Aim for 30 to 60 characters (the checker allows 20 to 70 before flagging). Google truncates around 600 pixels of width, and that range keeps most titles readable in full.
Does it measure pixel width?
No. It uses character count as a practical proxy, flagging anything outside 20 to 70. Wide characters can truncate slightly earlier than the character count suggests.
Does it work on WordPress and Shopify?
Yes. It reads the live page, so it works on any platform. See the fixes above for where to set the title in each CMS.
Can I get AI title recommendations?
A full free audit returns AI-written title suggestions for every page, not just a length check.
