Your page title

Your description will appear here, as it could look in Google search results.

A preview, not a promise: Google sometimes writes its own description from your page.

how_it_works

Google usually shows about 150–160 characters of a description before cutting it off. The checker counts as you type, warns you near the limit and shows where the cut is likely to fall. Everything stays in your browser.
