Meta description length is in range
One of 40 checks the scanner runs. This one is worth 2 points inside the Metadata & Discoverability dimension, which carries 7% of the total score.
What does this check look at?
The meta description is between 50 and 160 characters long.
How do I fix it?
- Partial pass: Aim for 50-160 characters.
- Write a description that states what the page answers.
Why is it worth 2 points?
Points are relative weights inside a dimension, and a dimension's weight decides how much of the total it can move. The reasoning for this dimension's weight is published rather than asserted:
| Dimension | Metadata & Discoverability — 7% of the total score |
| Points for this check | 2 of 7 in this dimension |
| Worth at most | 2.0 of the 100 points |
Moderate, and cheap to satisfy.
What else is measured in this dimension?
- Title length is in range — 3 points
- Open Graph tags are present — 1 point
- Document language is declared — 1 point
How do I see my own result?
Run a scan on your own domain. The report lists every failed check with the evidence that produced it, so you can tell a real failure from a check that does not apply.
