Goal
- Allow users to immediately identify the website in tabs, favorites, windows,
- browser histories, and screen readers.
- Improve the site’s SEO and its presentation in search engine results.
Implementation
Write the name of the website in the content of the title element of each page.
Control
For each page of the website, check that the name of the website is on the page title (title element).
An exhaustive check can be carried out if a tool is available to compile a complete listing of the titles of all pages (for example, Xenu's Link Sleuth). It can also be done from a check of the templates used by the CMS or from a sample of representative page types. In all cases, particular attention should be given to pages dependent on third-party services, where there is more chance that best practice has not been taken into account.
