Not supported by unique or accurate title

What is the problem?

Accurate and unique titles help individuals orient themselves when navigating to a new page or between applications/tabs.

Title not provided

Automated accessibility checkers look for a title element within document head elements. They will also look for the title attribute within frame and iframe elements.

Add a title to documents, frames and iframes

See the Pen 2.4.2 - Page and IFrame titles - Positive Example by Equal Entry LLC (@EqualEntry) on CodePen.

Set of pages all use the same titles

Unfortunately it is very common to see the same page title being used for multiple pages on a site. This can lead to poor search engine optimization as well as poor navigational aids for people with disabilities.

Use unique titles that helps provide context

“Page 3” or “Step 3” might be logical to the developer writing the web application but it’s not overly helpful to the user. Think about the main purpose of the page and use that as the title. For example “Billing Address - Checkout process step 3 of 5”
