2.4.2 Page Titled (level A)

Pages need titles that describe their topic or purpose.

How it shows up in Confluence

The page title is the first thing a screen reader announces, and it is what the page carries into search results, breadcrumbs and every link to it. “Copy of Untitled”, “Meeting notes” and “Page 1” all fail the test, which is whether the title still identifies the page when read on its own.

What to do about it

Rename the page so it works out of context. If two pages in a space share a title, add what distinguishes them — the team, the product, the year.

What Clearwren checks for this criterion

  • Page title does not describe the page — The title is the first thing a screen reader announces and the label the page carries in search, tabs and link lists.
  • Another page in this space has the same title — Identical titles are impossible to tell apart in search results, breadcrumbs and link lists.
