How to Shorten an Overlong Title Tag in Webflow (2026)

Google truncates title tags at roughly 60 characters (600px). If your Webflow page title is too long, searchers see a cut-off headline with an ellipsis, and keywords at the end lose ranking weight. The fix: edit the SEO Title in page settings to be concise and front-load your keyword.

Why it matters

What this issue costs you

Truncated titles look incomplete in search results and reduce click-through rates. Keywords pushed past the truncation point carry less weight. Since Webflow doesn't append a site name automatically, overlong titles usually mean the title itself is too wordy.

Step-by-step

How to fix: Title tag too long

Webflow

  1. 1

    Check your title length

    Run your page through our free checker — it flags titles over 60 characters. Or in the Designer: Pages panel > gear icon > SEO Settings > Title Tag field. Count the characters manually (most browsers show character count if you select-all).

  2. 2

    Rewrite the SEO title

    In Pages panel > gear icon > SEO Settings, edit the "Title Tag" field. Front-load the primary keyword, cut filler words, and keep it under 60 characters. Example: "The Complete and Ultimate Guide to SEO Analysis for Small Business Websites in 2026" (82 chars) → "SEO Analysis for Small Business — Complete Guide (2026)" (55 chars).

  3. 3

    For CMS pages: shorten the bound field

    If your title tag is bound to a CMS field (like the item name), and item names are naturally long, create a separate "SEO Title" short-text field in your collection. Bind the Title Tag to that field instead. This lets you have a long descriptive name for the item and a concise SEO title.

  4. 4

    Remove brand name if it pushes over the limit

    If you manually append "| BrandName" to every title and that pushes pages over 60 characters, remove it from pages where the title is already 50+ characters. Your brand name in the title matters most on your homepage; on deep pages, keyword space is more valuable.

FAQ

Common questions about title tag too long

Does Webflow show a character count for the title tag?

No — Webflow's SEO title field has no built-in character counter or length indicator. Use our checker or a browser extension to verify length. A quick method: if your title wraps to a second line in a narrow text field, it's likely too long.

Will shortening my title affect the page name in Webflow?

No. The SEO Title Tag field is separate from the page name shown in Webflow's Pages panel. You can have a long descriptive page name for internal organization and a concise SEO title for search results.

Is 60 characters a hard limit?

It's a guideline based on pixel width (~600px). Narrow characters like "i" and "l" allow slightly more; wide characters like "W" and "M" allow less. Aim for 50–58 characters to be safe across all devices.
