Fixing Page Titled on Wix (WCAG 2.4.2)
Every page needs a unique title element that describes what the page is about.
Why it matters
The title is the first thing a screen reader announces when a user moves between tabs. If all 200 products in the catalogue carry the title 'Shop', the customer cannot tell which product they are on. It is also the line that appears in search results, so the fix improves click-through at the same time.
Wix — where to look
The SEO panel's page title field.
What to do
Bind the title to a data field on dynamic pages and give every static page a unique title.
Verification status
Not yet confirmed against a live installation. The paths and setting names below describe the general structure of Wix and menu names vary by version, theme and plugins. Where we have checked a step against the platform's own source, this box says so and links to it.
How to verify the fix
- Open several product pages in separate tabs and see whether the tab titles let you tell them apart.
- Go to page 2 of a category listing — does the title change?
- Check the cart, checkout, account and 404 pages individually. These are the ones usually forgotten.
