A title tag is the <title> element inside a page's head. It labels the page in browser tabs, bookmarks and, most importantly, as the blue headline in search results.
Why it matters
The title is one of the clearest topical signals on a page and the first thing a searcher reads. Search engines may rewrite it if it is missing, too long or does not fit the page, so a well-written title keeps control in your hands.
Because titles are truncated by pixel width and not character count, put the most important words first and test how the result looks on mobile.
Example
<title>What Is TTL? DNS Caching Explained | SiteDownCheck</title>Front-load the main topic, add a brand name at the end, and aim for roughly 50 to 60 characters so it is less likely to be cut off.
Common mistakes
- Using the same title on many pages, such as "Home" or the company name only.
- Keyword stuffing, for example repeating a phrase three times.
- Making the title very different from the H1 so the page topic looks unclear.
