Shorter titles on the tool comparison pages

The generated titles on our 'alternatives' comparison pages ran past what a search results page shows; they now end after the count of tools.

Each product we compare a free tool against has a page titled "<product> alternatives: N free tools". Until today the title carried a further phrase, "with a side-by-side page", which pushed some past 80 characters, longer than a results page shows. That phrase is still in the page's description and heading; the title now stops after the count. No ranking or traffic effect is claimed; the change only keeps the words that say what the page is inside the visible part of the title.
