SEO Small
Add a page title
The <title> tag is the single most important on-page SEO signal and the text search engines usually display as the clickable headline in results. It also becomes the browser tab label, so a missing title hurts both discoverability and everyday usability.

Without a page title, search engines have no reliable label to show in results and browser tabs are blank, hurting both click-through rate and basic usability.
How to fix
- 1 Add a unique, descriptive <title> tag to the page's <head>.
- 2 Keep it aligned with the page's primary keyword or topic.
Common mistakes
- Using the same generic title (e.g. the site name only) on every page, which makes pages indistinguishable in search results.
- Setting the title via JavaScript after page load, so it is missing when search engines or link-preview crawlers fetch the raw HTML.
- Writing a title that does not match what the page actually delivers, which increases bounce rate even when it wins the click.
How to verify
- 1 View the page source (not just the rendered DOM) and confirm a non-empty <title> is present in the initial HTML.
- 2 Check the browser tab to confirm the title renders as expected.
- 3 Search for the page in a search engine or use a serp-preview tool to confirm the title displays correctly.
