HTML Page Title

Why every page needs a good title.

✍️ 3 exercises + code challenge in this lesson

The <title> element sets the page title. It is required in every HTML document and must be inside <head>.

Where the title appears

  • In the browser tab.
  • As the default name when a page is bookmarked.
  • As the clickable headline in search engine results.
Write a short, descriptive title (about 50–60 characters) that clearly says what the page is about. It is one of the most important parts of SEO.
