Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored, or sent to a third party.
The title and description pass with 1 note(s).
How it works
- Measured the approximate display width of the title and description.
- Checked for missing values, over-width values, duplication and focus-keyword use.
- Reported each finding with a severity (error, warn or info).
- Widths are approximations; Google has no fixed character limit.
Methodology
- Measure the approximate display width (wide characters count double).
- Compare against the approximate desktop display budgets for title and description.
- Flag missing values as errors, over-width values as warnings, and keyword or duplication issues as notes.
Usage
- Enter the page title.
- Enter the meta description.
- Optionally add a focus keyword and the page URL.
- Run the check and review the findings and pass state.
Examples
These are examples, not current values: they use fixed inputs, while the interactive tool computes live results in your browser.
A clean title and description
{
"title": "JSON Formatter — format and validate JSON",
"description": "Format, validate and minify JSON in your browser without uploading your data.",
"focusKeyword": "json formatter",
"url": "https://gampangin.example/tools/json-formatter/"
}A missing focus keyword
{
"title": "Format and validate JSON",
"description": "A browser-local JSON formatter.",
"focusKeyword": "json formatter"
}Limitations
How to read the findings
Errors mean the page is missing a value a search engine needs. Warnings mean the value is likely to be truncated or ambiguous. Notes are opportunities, not faults.
Fix the errors first; then tighten the warnings. Never stuff a keyword at the cost of readability.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a green result guarantee a top ranking?
- No. The checker reviews formatting and presence only; ranking depends on many signals it does not measure.
- Why does the same title score differently on desktop and mobile?
- The mobile result wraps more, so the approximate display budget is different; width, not character count, drives the finding.
