Missing Page Title Check
Description
The “Missing Page Title Check” evaluates whether the webpage contains no <title>
element as opposed to the supposed one.
Example outcome
I noticed that this webpage does not have a title - it is missing the <title>
element.
Impact
- Visual Impairments: The title is typically the first thing announced by assistive tech.
- Cognitive Disabilities: Page titles help maintain orientation, especially in multitasking or tab-heavy environments.
- All: Browsers display the title in tabs, bookmarks, and history.
Fixes
To address missing <title>
elements:
- Locate the
<head>
element. - Add a
<title>
with meaningful and descriptive text.
