og:title is too long
Your og:title runs past 60 characters and will be cut with an ellipsis. Here is where each platform truncates and how to tighten the headline without losing the point.
What you are seeing: Your preview headline ends in an ellipsis, cutting off mid-sentence — usually worse on mobile than on desktop.
Where the cut lands
60 characters is the practical ceiling. Facebook and LinkedIn allow a little more on wide desktop layouts, X allows a little less, and every platform is tighter on mobile because the card is narrower. Writing to 60 means the headline survives intact everywhere rather than only in the most generous case.
Truncation is not a soft failure. It usually removes the end of the sentence, which is where the payoff normally sits, and it leaves the reader with a fragment that reads as sloppy.
How to shorten it
Cut the site name first. If your title ends in a separator and your brand, that suffix is pure waste in a social card — og:site_name already carries it, and platforms render it on its own line.
Front-load the specific claim. If the headline is truncated anyway, the words that survive should be the ones that matter. Put the concrete detail first and the framing second.
Move supporting detail into og:description, which gives you roughly twice the room and is designed for exactly that.
Frequently asked
What is the ideal og:title length?
Between 40 and 60 characters. Under 40 tends to feel thin next to a full-width image; over 60 risks truncation on at least one major platform and on most mobile layouts.
Does a long og:title hurt SEO?
Not directly — Google reads the <title> tag, not og:title, for search results. It hurts click-through on social, which is its own problem. If your <title> is also over 60 characters, that is a separate issue worth fixing for search.
