The “Page Title Check” evaluates whether the webpage contains exactly one <title> element in the <head> section and that the title is appropriately descriptive of the page content.
Example outcome
I found one title on the webpage and it seems correct.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Screen readers rely on the title to identify the page’s context. A missing title causes confusion.
Motor Impairments: Keyboard-only users navigating tabs and windows need clear labels.
Cognitive Disabilities: A missing or non-descriptive title may make it harder to recognize the page’s purpose.
Attention Disorders: Poor titles reduce clarity when multitasking or scanning browser tabs.
Fixes
To address inappropriate <title> elements:
Locate the <title> element.
Verify that it is correctly placed inside the <head> section.
Ensure it contains plain, descriptive text that clearly states the page’s purpose, with a length of 30 to 65 characters.
If there are multiple <title> elements, make sure to keep only one.
