Meta tags

What this tool is for

Meta tags are easy to write and easy to get wrong in ways nobody notices until the search result looks truncated. This shows the Google snippet as you type, warns when the title exceeds the pixel width that gets cut, and outputs the whole head block including Open Graph and Twitter cards.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the title, description, URL and image.
  2. Watch the search result preview and the length indicators.
  3. Copy the generated tags into the head of your page.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a title be?

Google truncates by pixel width, not character count, at roughly 580 pixels on desktop. That is about 60 characters in practice, less if the title is full of wide letters. The preview here measures the actual width.

Do meta keywords still matter?

No. Google has ignored the keywords tag since 2009 and says so publicly. It is not included here for that reason.

Does the description affect ranking?

Not directly, but it affects click-through rate, and a page nobody clicks does not hold its position for long. Write it as ad copy, not as a summary.
