Cache Laravel Queries in Redis Without Serving Stale Data | Example
Cache expensive Eloquent queries in Redis with Cache::remember, tag the entries, and purge them on every write so readers never see stale results. Tested on Laravel 13 and Redis 7.4.

Google truncates by pixel width, not characters: about 600 px of 20 px Arial for the title and roughly two lines for the description, measured here with the same font. It also rewrites titles and descriptions it judges unhelpful for the query, so this shows how yours renders when it is used, not a guarantee that it will be. Put the words that answer the query first.

Runs in this browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server.

Pixels, not characters

"Keep titles under 60 characters" is an approximation of a pixel limit: a title full of W and M is cut sooner than one full of i and l. Put the words that answer the search first, so the important part survives truncation on any device.

Google may rewrite it

Google generates its own title or snippet when it judges the page's to be unhelpful for the query, often from headings or body text; its title link documentation lists the common reasons. A specific, accurate title that matches the page's main heading is rewritten least.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a meta description be?
Long enough to describe the page in about two lines, roughly 150 to 160 characters on desktop. Google often replaces it with text from the page that matches the query better.
Does the title tag affect ranking?
It is one of the clearest signals of what a page is about, and it is the link text searchers see, so it affects clicks as much as rankings.
Is what I paste sent anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type or paste is sent to our server or stored.
