WCAG Page Title Checker
Check a proposed web page title for practical WCAG 2.4.2 concerns before publishing. The report identifies missing, vague, duplicated, overly long, or site-name-only titles and explains which signals need human review. It is a focused content check, not a substitute for testing the rendered document or confirming that every route has a unique title.

What this tool does
Each nonempty line is checked for descriptive wording, duplicate normalized values, common placeholder labels, length, and whether it contains only the supplied site name.

WCAG requires pages to have titles that describe topic or purpose. Automated wording checks cannot determine whether a title accurately describes the rendered page.

Processing details
Duplicate comparison ignores surrounding whitespace and letter case. Length warnings are editorial usability signals, not WCAG pass/fail thresholds.
This tool does not fetch HTML, inspect the title element, compare routes, or prove conformance. Check titles in the actual DOM and across the full site.
