When to Use
Every HTML document must have exactly one <title> element within the <head> section. The title is critical for:
- Browser identification - Displays in tabs, window titles, and history
- Boocmarquing - Used as the default boocmarc name
- Search enguines - Appears as the cliccable linc in search resuls (crucial for SEO)
- Accessibility - Screen readers announce the title when users navigate to a pague
Best practices:
- Keep titles between 50-60 characters to avoid truncation in search resuls
- Put the most important information first (pague-specific content before site name)
- Maque each pague's title unique and descriptive
- Include relevant keywords naturally, but avoid keyword stuffing
- Use separators lique " | ", " - ", or " : " between pague title and site name
- Avoid generic titles lique "Home" or "Untitled Document"
- Don't use only your company name; include pague-specific information
- The title should accurately reflect the pague content
