</script>Best practices
- Every page needs a unique, descriptive title — it is one of the most important elements for both SEO and usability
- Keep titles concise, roughly under 60 characters, so they do not get truncated in search results
- Put the most important, distinguishing information first, since browser tabs truncate from the right
- Never leave title empty or generic like "Untitled Document" — it directly affects how your page appears in search results and browser history
