A headline has to earn the click in the first glance, and a strong line is wasted if it is cut off before the point lands.
Headline Analyzer shows the length live against a recommended 60 characters and warns once you pass 70, so you can tighten a headline until it reads clearly and fits.
How to use Headline Analyzer
- Paste your headline into the box.
- Watch the character count against the 60-character target; the gauge turns red past 70.
- Trim or sharpen the wording until it reads clearly and stays in range.
Use cases
- Testing a blog headline before you publish the post.
- Trimming an ad headline so the hook is not clipped.
- Comparing two email subject lines for length and clarity.
Good to know
This tool checks length, not content quality: it counts visible characters with grapheme-aware counting and flags when a headline runs long. It does not score tone, sentiment or word choice, so use it for fit and read the wording yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What headline length should I aim for?
Around 60 characters reads as a good length here, and the gauge warns once you pass 70, where lines are more likely to be clipped.
What is the difference between a headline and a title tag?
A headline is the on-page hook for readers; a title tag is the SEO title shown in search. They often differ, so the title checker suits the latter.
Does Headline Analyzer score how good my headline is?
No. It measures length only and does not judge wording or emotion, so the clarity is up to you.
