Page titles

Rules

Documents must have a page <title> that identify their main content.

Rationale

Document titles help users orientate themselves within web sites and apps. The document <title> element content is often the first thing that a speech output user will hear. It acts as a confirmation of what page they have arrived at. Document titles commonly have the same content as the page's <h1> element.

Techniques
