Page titled (WCAG)
WCAG 2.4.2: documents have a title that describes topic or purpose.
Pass condition in our engine: A <title> element is present.
This WCAG check is part of SEO-GEO scoring 2.2.1, last updated 2026-09-18. About 90 percent of the evaluation runs on the HTML we crawl, so you can verify the same pass condition with a free report.
1. Problem description
The <title> is announced when a screen-reader user opens the tab. Empty titles fail this criterion and overlap with the SEO title check.
2. Most common causes
- Missing <title> in a slim HTML shell.
- Title set only after hydration.
3. How to fix it
- Add a unique, descriptive <title> in the first HTML response.
