Providing descriptive HTML titles is crucial as they appear in the title bar, aiding both users and search engines in understanding what each page is about.

Here are some pointers to consider while writing an HTML title:

  • Be specific: Use clear and specific titles that accurately describe the page content. For example, instead of "Page 1," use "Summer Sale - Women's Dresses."
  • Keep it short: Titles should be concise, ideally under 60 characters, so they don't get cut off in search results.
  • Include keywords: Use relevant keywords naturally in your titles to improve search engine ranking and further provide context to users.
  • Branding: Include your brand name at the end of the title. For example, "Summer Sale - Women's Dresses | XYZ Store."
  • Unique titles: Ensure each page has a unique title to avoid confusion and improve search engine optimization (SEO).
