Page title

Give the page a clear title

The title is one of the first things people and search engines use to tell pages apart. The checker flags a missing title, and titles that look unusually short or long so they can be reviewed.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Write a title that names this page, not only the organisation.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Put the most useful words near the start.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Add it in the document head as a <title> element.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Run the checker again and review any remaining length warning rather than padding the title with keywords.

A title warning is a review prompt, not a ranking score. Distinct, readable titles matter more than hitting an exact character count.
