Question 1

What is a title tag?

Accepted Answer

The title tag communicates a page’s main title to search engines and browsers. It is the primary source for the blue link text in a search result.

Question 2

What is a meta description?

Accepted Answer

A meta description is an HTML tag summarizing a page. Google may show it below the title when it is relevant to the search query.

Question 3

How long should a title be?

Accepted Answer

There is no absolute limit. A range of 30–60 characters is a useful starting point, but rendered width and clarity matter more.

Question 4

How long should a meta description be?

Accepted Answer

A range of 70–160 characters is usually enough to explain the page benefit. Longer copy may be truncated in some results.

Question 5

Will Google always show my description?

Accepted Answer

No. Google may select a different passage from the page when it better matches the user’s query.

Question 6

What does fetch from URL read?

Accepted Answer

The tool reads only publicly available title, meta description, and site-name tags. It cannot access private or login-protected pages.

Question 7

Why does pixel width matter?

Accepted Answer

Wide characters such as M use more space than narrow characters such as i, so two titles with the same character count can truncate differently.

Question 8

Is this preview identical to Google?

Accepted Answer

It is a useful approximation. Google may alter text and presentation according to device, query, language, and ongoing experiments.
