Title too long

Search engines truncate long titles, cutting off your message mid-sentence in the results.

What it is

This check flags <title> elements longer than roughly 60 characters.

Why it matters for SEO

A cut-off title weakens clarity and click-through, and keywords past the cut may be ignored.

Example

<title>Very long title that gets cut off after about sixty characters in Google search...</title>

How to fix

  1. Trim the title to about 50-60 characters.
  2. Put the most important words first.
  3. Drop filler and redundant brand repetition.
  4. Re-crawl to confirm titles fit.
