Title Rewrite Risk
Google rewrites most titles it doesn't like. This previews your snippet at true pixel widths — from your live page, not pasted text — and scores how likely yours is to be rewritten, and why.
Why titles get rewritten
Since 2021, Google generates the title it shows — your <title> is input, not instruction. It keeps your title when it’s honest, specific, and fits; it rewrites when it sees truncation, keyword stuffing, boilerplate (“Home”), brand-only titles, or a title that doesn’t match what the page’s own H1 says the page is about. The single most common replacement Google reaches for is your H1 — which is why the H1 comparison here matters more than the character count most tools obsess over.
What it scores
- Truncation — measured in pixels against the real desktop limit, not a character guess
- Title ↔ H1 mismatch — low word overlap between them is the strongest rewrite predictor
- Stuffing patterns — delimiter chains (
|,-,•) and repeated keywords - Boilerplate — generic openers, brand-only titles, ALL-CAPS shouting
- Description health — missing, too short to be useful, or long past the truncation point (descriptions get rewritten even more often than titles — usually harmlessly)
The tool fetches your live page and reads the title, meta description, first H1, and og:title. Pixel widths are measured in your browser with Google's SERP font metrics (desktop). Rewrite-risk factors are heuristics based on Google's documented and observed rewriting behavior — a low score is no guarantee. Nothing is stored.
