Page titles, what is that all about?
This is going to be a quick post, but something very essential.
<title> is something that represent your web page and it is indeed helpful specially those who opens multiple websites on different tabs.
Page <title> should convey the content of the page and information about the portal. It’s very essential to provide appropriate page <title>. Why is it so important to have an unique page <title> is that if we have a multiple tabs opened on a browser, just by looking at the title, we should know what page we would be using.
Page <title> is inserted as part of page <header> and the coode looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>
Page name: Portal name
</title>
<head>
...and then starts the <body> attribute.
It is Level A requirement of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
Success Criterion 2.4.2 Page Titled: Web pages have titles that describe topic or purpose. (Level A)
So all web authors, look at your portals and ensure you have unique page <title>
