SERP Snippet Preview
See how your title and description render in Google results, and where they get cut off.
No sign-up. We read the page to fill this in. Nothing is stored.
What you get
- Where Google cuts your title, in pixels
- Where it cuts your description
- How both render on mobile
- The URL as a breadcrumb trail
- Where Google truncates your title and description, measured in pixels rather than characters, which is how the cut is actually decided.
- How the snippet renders on desktop and on mobile, where the available width differs enough to change what survives.
- Whether the important half of your title survives the cut, or whether the brand suffix eats it.
- How the URL renders as a breadcrumb trail rather than as a raw path.
How to use the SERP Snippet Preview
Enter the page URL
We read the live title and description, not the ones you intended to ship.
Check both widths
A title that fits on desktop and truncates on mobile is the usual failure.
Rewrite front-loaded
Put the query term and the promise in the first half, where they survive every width.
Why the snippet is worth writing twice
It is the only part most searchers read.
A truncated title loses the clause that would have earned the click, and you never see which clause it was.
The cut is by pixels, not characters.
A character count is a rough proxy. Wide letters truncate earlier, which is why two titles of equal length behave differently.
Mobile is the harder constraint.
A title that fits on desktop and truncates on mobile is the usual failure, and mobile is where most of the traffic is.
Answer engines read it too.
The title and description are a summary of what the page contains, and an assistant deciding whether to open the page reads them first.
What to do with the result
A snippet is the only part of a page most searchers ever read, and a truncated one loses the clause that would have earned the click. The same discipline now pays twice: an answer engine deciding whether to quote you reads the same title and description as a summary of what the page contains. Content Scoring checks both as you write.
Site AuditFrequently asked questions
Google truncates on rendered width, not characters. A title of 60 narrow characters can fit where 55 wide ones do not, which is why character-count rules give false confidence. This tool measures the rendered text in the same typeface Google uses.
