`description.content.length`

Default: warn
Options: {"min":50,"max":160}
Plugin: description

The description length is within a range of characters.

Why: Search results cut off long descriptions to fit the screen, at about 155 to 160 characters, and short descriptions say little about the page.

The rule warns, and does not fail. Google sets no limit on the length of a description, and cuts it as needed.

When off: descriptions of any length pass.

Option	Type	Default	Description
`min`	`number`	`50`	The fewest characters allowed.
`max`	`number`	`160`	The most characters allowed.

<!-- ✗ Fails -->
<meta name="description" content="Our bakery." />

<!-- ✓ Passes -->
<meta
  name="description"
  content="Bongo Bakery bakes fresh bread, buns, and pastries every morning in the heart of town."
/>
