WCAG 2.4.2 · Level A

Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation

A page has no title, so users can't tell which page they're on.

What this rule checks

Ensure each HTML document contains a non-empty <title> element.

Why it matters

WCAG 2.4.2 requires every page to have a descriptive title.

How to fix it

  1. Set a unique, descriptive <title> for the page template or in your SEO settings.

How to check the fix

  • Re-scan the page.

How FixReports finds it

Our scan runs the axe-core rule document-title in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.

An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
