Inappropriate Page Title Length Check
Description
The “Inappropriate Page Title Length Check” evaluates whether the page’s <title> element text is concise (i.e., not too long).
Example outcome
It seems to me that the webpage title is too long - it contains 100 characters.
Impact
- Visual Impairments: Screen readers announce the page title when switching between pages or navigating to a new site.
- Cognitive Disabilities: Concise titles help users orient themselves and understand the page content quickly.
- All: Browser tabs show the page title.
Fixes
To address inappropriate <title> elements:
- Locate the
<title> element.
- Provide a meaningful and descriptive text, ensuring it is not longer than 65 characters.
