Homepage has a descriptive title

What this check means

Checks that your homepage has a <title> that identifies what the site is.

Why it matters

The title is the single strongest signal of what a page is about. An AI system summarising or citing your site leans on it heavily, and a missing or generic title ("Home", "React App") tells it nothing it can use.

How we detect it

We read the <title> element from the parsed homepage and require it to be present, at least 10 characters, and not one of the common placeholder values frameworks emit by default.

How to fix it

Set a title naming the organisation and what it does — "Acme — inventory software for independent retailers" rather than "Home".

Check whether this applies to your site.
