Regulation
European Accessibility ActHow common
Relatively uncommon on production websites but still found on SPAs and dynamically generated pages.
What this means
The page does not have a <title> element, or the title is empty. The document title is the first thing screen readers announce when a page loads, and it appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results.
WCAG requirement
Success Criterion 2.4.2 — Page Titled: web pages must have titles that describe topic or purpose.
How to fix
Add a descriptive <title> in the <head>:
<title>Product Catalog — Your Store Name</title>
- Make each page title unique and descriptive
- Put the specific content first, followed by the site name
- Keep it under 60 characters for search engine display
