Why Use This Tool
What looks perfect in your CMS often gets truncated in search results. Google uses pixel width, not character count, to decide where to cut your title and description. Our SERP simulator measures actual pixels so you can optimize before publishing.

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page, the page you see after typing a query into Google, Bing, or any search engine. Each result on this page is called a "snippet" and typically includes three elements: a clickable title (in blue), a URL or breadcrumb path (in gray), and a description (in dark gray).
These snippets are your page's first impression. Before anyone clicks through to read your content, they judge whether your page is worth visiting based entirely on these few lines of text.
Why Pixel Width Matters More Than Character Count
Most SEO advice tells you to keep titles under 60 characters and descriptions under 155. But Google does not count characters. It measures pixel width.
The display area for titles is approximately 600 pixels on desktop. A title with many wide letters (like "W" and "M") truncates sooner than one with narrow letters (like "i" and "l"). The title "SWIMMING WORKOUTS" takes far more pixels than "little tips" despite having fewer characters.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter your URL and click "Fetch data" to auto-fill your current title and description
- Edit the fields and watch the pixel width update in real-time
- Toggle options like Date or Rating to see rich snippet variations
- Switch between Desktop and Mobile to check both versions
- Copy HTML when you are happy with the result
