Why it matters
AI agents use the <title> element as the primary label when citing, indexing, or summarizing a page. A missing, empty, or generic title makes your page unidentifiable in AI-generated responses and search results.
How to fix it
Give each page a unique, descriptive title element.
-
Add a title element in the head with the page topic and the site name.
<title>Pricing - Example</title>
Verify
curl -sf https://{domain}/
Expected: The head contains a non-empty title element
