The Title Tag Checker reads the title tag on a page and reports its length in characters and its width in pixels against Google's cut-off on desktop. It checks whether the title repeats the page headline and, if you enter a target keyword, whether it appears and how close to the front it sits. A missing title is flagged. It also checks the H1 and previews the result.

The title tag is the headline Google shows for your page in search results. It is also the label on the browser tab, so most people see it before they see anything else on your site.
This checker reads the title tag on a page and reports its length in characters and in pixels. It also checks whether the title just repeats the page's headline, and whether your keyword is near the front.
A title that is word for word the same as the page headline adds nothing the headline did not already say. The checker flags it when the two match. Use the title to add the keyword or a detail the headline leaves out. The result shows the H1 next to the title.
A few words of difference is enough. Put the keyword near the front of the title and keep the headline written for the reader on the page.
Google cuts a title off by pixel width, so a title full of wide letters gets shortened sooner than one full of narrow letters. The checker shows both numbers. It passes a title of 30 to 60 characters and flags anything wider than about 580 pixels.
If the title is too long, move the keyword and the most important words to the front and trim the end. If it is very short, there is room to add a detail that helps someone choose your result.
Enter a target keyword and the checker tells you whether it appears in the title and whether it starts within the first 25 characters. Put it earlier if it does not.
The checker also looks for a separator such as a pipe or hyphen. That usually means your brand name is added at the end, and the checker suggests adding it if there is no separator.
Aim for one H1 that says what the page is about. The checker warns when it finds more than one and fails when it finds none. Google has said extra H1s are not a problem for search, but one is easier to read and to maintain.
If a page has several, keep the one that names the page and change the others to H2 or H3.
The preview lays out the URL, the title and the description the way a Google result does, on desktop and on mobile. Google picks the final text for each search, so treat the preview as a close estimate.
The description passes at 160 characters or fewer. Anything longer is cut off. Mobile results are often cut shorter than desktop, so put the main point first.
