Why it matters
Meta description is the text under the title in search results. Below 70 characters it wastes the snippet, above 160 characters search engines truncate the rest.
How to fix
Rewrite the description into one or two sentences that describe the page and fit the window. Override the bounds with 'meta:description-length': ['warn', { min, max }] when your snippets are localized or intentionally short.
