Page titled

WCAG 2.4.2: documents have a title that describes topic or purpose.

Pass condition in our engine: A <title> element is present.

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

  1. Add a unique, descriptive <title> in the first HTML response.
