    Default When Did Google Truncate H1 Length Again?

    I notice that all our optimized titles are now screwed again. In Google SERPS, the shorter displayed titles are mostly cutting off one, but at times, two words at the end.

    I've checked a few results and it looks like maybe the new width is 500px maximum? Anyone have any information on this? I'm only pulling up old info when I search about title length...?

    Since the last time I looked, it appears mobile titles are even longer than before.
    As it stands now, mobile titles show way more than desktop titles on my machines... blows my mind. Desktops have wayyyy more screen real estate!

    now Google does not particularly accept tags H1 or H2 in search results. they don't affect the SEO. this is if we consider the technical side of the site. for example, if you don't post these tags, the site can't be "worse"

    As many as is necessary to properly divide one's content.
    Think of the H-tags as part of a term/research paper outline from when you were in school.

    Excess tags can be penalized by Google.

    In our case Google cuts Meta Titles up to 52-53 characters Maximal MetaTitle length not "cut" is up to 58 characters...
