What is the issue about?
Search engine crawlers only show the first 150-160 characters of the description in the search results page, so if a description is too long, searchers may not see all of the text. If a description is too short, the search engines may add text found elsewhere on the page. Note that search engines may show a different description from the one you have authored if they feel it may be more relevant to a user's search.

How to fix?

Change the description in the <meta description> tag in the page source to be between 25 and 160 characters in length.
