Introduction

This is a site-wide accessibility issue that I found.

Issue

Page titles are not reflective of the page that a user is in. Regardless of what page a user is in, the title that shows in the browser is always the same. This is a violation of WCAG Success Criterion 2.4.2 (Level A) - Page Titled. See

Description

Success Criterion 2.4.2 (Level A) - Web pages have titles that describe topic or purpose.

Impact

  • This criterion benefits all users in allowing users to quickly and easily identify whether the information contained in the Web page is relevant to their needs.
  • People with visual disabilities will benefit from being able to differentiate content when multiple Web pages are open.
  • People with cognitive disabilities, limited short-term memory and reading disabilities also benefit from the ability to identify content by its title.
  • This criterion also benefits people with severe mobility impairments whose mode of operation relies on audio when navigating between Web pages.

Fix

I will link a Pull Request to solve this problem.

Nice catch! Putting under product review to determine what the page titles should better be.
