Will My Page Title or Meta Description Get Cut Off in Google Search?

Google truncates page titles based on pixel width (roughly 580px–600px on desktop, or 30–60 characters) rather than raw character count alone, and truncates meta descriptions around 920px (70–160 characters). Wide uppercase letters like W and M consume significantly more pixels than narrow characters.

Why This Matters for Search & AI Visibility

Truncated titles lose critical value propositions or brand names in search results, while missing or overly short meta descriptions cause Google to extract random body text.

How to Fix It Permanently

Keep your <title> between 30–60 characters (under 560px) with your primary keyword front-loaded, and your <meta name="description"> between 110–155 characters.
