Title Tag Checker

The <title> tag is the single most important on-page SEO element — it's what appears in browser tabs, search results, and social shares. Paste your URL and we check length, truncation risk, and whether it exists at all, then stamp CLEARED / HOLD / DENIED.

Title tag problems we catch

These look fine in development but hurt click-through rates the moment you launch.

  • Missing <title> tag entirely

    Browser tab shows 'Untitled'. Google displays a raw URL in search results instead of a clickable headline. Users skip it.

  • Title too long (over 70 chars)

    Google truncates at ~600px (~60-70 Latin characters). The tail becomes an ellipsis (…) and your brand name or key phrase may vanish from SERPs.

  • Title too short (under 10 chars)

    Wastes prime SERP real estate. A single word like 'Home' tells neither users nor crawlers what the page is about.

  • Placeholder title still in production

    Staging titles like 'Next.js App' or 'Vite + React' ship to production surprisingly often. Looks unfinished and tanks CTR.

Copy-paste title fixes

Use the Next.js metadata API for App Router, or a plain <title> tag in any HTML page.

Next.js App Router — metadata API

export const metadata = {
  title: 'Go-Live Clearance — Pre-Launch Website Scanner',
}

Plain HTML

<head>
  <title>Your Page Title — Brand Name</title>
</head>

Per-page title (Next.js)

// app/about/page.tsx
export const metadata = {
  title: 'About Us — Go-Live Clearance',
}

Still check by hand

  • □Keep titles between 30-60 characters for best SERP visibility
  • □Include your primary keyword near the beginning
  • □End with your brand name (— Brand) for recognition
  • □Check how it looks in Google's SERP preview tool
