How to use

Paste the headline, add the keyword it should keep if there is one, and press Analyze. The score appears instantly, with each sub-score explained so you know what to fix: too long, no number, no emotional word, jargon. The pixel bar shows whether Google would cut the title in search results. Five rewritten versions load a second later, each taking a different angle, and each with its own score. Press Score it on a rewrite to run it through the analyzer, and keep going until the score and your ear agree.

Why it matters

Most people read the headline and skip the rest, and that ratio decides how much traffic an article gets from search and social alike. A score turns the vague feeling that a headline is weak into something specific: it is 78 characters, it has no number, it starts with a filler word. The rewrites give you somewhere to go from there. The best headline is still the one that makes a true promise the page keeps, and no score replaces that judgment.

FAQ

70 or above is strong for a blog post or landing page. Scores in the 50s usually mean the headline is accurate but generic. Do not chase 100: the scoring rewards patterns, and a headline that ticks every box can read like a template.

Six checks weighted into one number: length in characters and words, the balance of common, uncommon, emotional and power words, whether it has a number, and clarity, which penalises jargon, vague words and shouting. The pixel-width check is separate because it only matters for the title tag.

Free, no login. Scoring runs in your browser and nothing is stored. The five rewrites are generated on our server and are not kept either.
