Meaning

The <title> element encloses the title of an HTML document.

It must occur within a document’s
<head> element and must be present in all valid documents.

There should be only a single occurrence of this element. Meaningful titles are very important because they are used for bookmarking a page, are occasionally used by browsers to label locally saved pages, and are often used by search engines attempting to index the document.

Notes:

The HTML <title> element is found within the <head> tag.
You MUST include the <title> tag within the <head> tag in your document.

Tips:

Try to make sure your titles are as unique as possible within your own site.
Search engines typically display about the first 55–60 characters of a page title.
Avoid one- or two-word titles.
