axe-core rule: document-title

The page is missing a title

What it is

The document has no title element (or it is empty), so the browser tab, bookmarks, and assistive technology have no way to identify the page.

Who it blocks

Screen reader users, who hear the title first to confirm where they landed, and anyone juggling multiple tabs. Search engines also use it.

How to fix it

Add a unique, descriptive title element to every page. Lead with the page-specific part, then the site name.

Example fix

<!-- Before -->
<head></head>

<!-- After -->
<head>
  <title>Red Leather Office Chair - Acme Furniture</title>
</head>
