Multiple title tags

Low priorityOn-page SEO

The page has more than one <title> element, so search engines have to guess which one to use.

What triggers this issue

  • Page has 2 or more title tags in the HTML.

Why it matters

A page can only have one title. When there are several, Google usually takes the first, which may be a generic one added by a theme or plugin rather than the one you wrote.

It is almost always a sign that two systems (a theme and an SEO plugin, or a layout and a page component) are both writing head tags.

How to fix it

  1. View the page source and search for <title to see where each one comes from.
  2. Turn off title output in either the theme or the SEO plugin, not both.
  3. In frameworks, make sure only one layout or head manager sets the title.
