What this means in practice

The title is the first thing a screen reader announces, and it appears in tabs and bookmarks. “Home” on twenty pages helps nobody – name the page first, then the site.

Normative wording

The binding text lives at the W3C. What you read here is our own faithful rendering – not a quotation.
