Description
A page title for this page was found but the accessible name appears to be insufficient. Ensure that the head title tag contains a proper description for the page and avoid using generic or repeatable terms. For each HTML page, the head title tag should describe the overall contents or purpose of the page. Screen Readers will announce the title of the HTML document when a user focuses on the browser window/tab, so the title must be properly populated with accessible title text contents for announcement.
How to fix
Give each page a descriptive title. Add the page title using the <title> element in the page's <head>.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Contact Us — Acme, Inc.</title>
</head>
<body>
…
</body>
</html>
Place unique and important information near the beginning of the title. This helps to distinguish similar pages from each other.
