Why this page exists
Snippet length is a writing guardrail.
Search engines can rewrite snippets, but clear titles and descriptions still help people understand the page.
Characters
Use the count to avoid obviously long snippets.
Pixels
Wide letters take more space, so pixel estimates help explain why two 60-character titles can differ.
Clarity
A useful snippet should still make sense if the end is shortened.
