2.4.2 — Page Titled

Level A Operable

Operational summary

FOR EACH web page, provide a title that communicates its subject or purpose. Include route changes and document views in the test inventory; a nonempty but generic title may still be unhelpful.

This is an original implementation summary, not replacement normative text. The sources below supply the precise requirement, its definitions and its qualifications.

Primary sources

• Normative text — W3C WCAG 2.2 Recommendation
• Understanding 2.4.2 — explanatory guidance

Registry record

Applicability and assessment start unset by design — no product has been evaluated. Instantiate the entry for an actual product, assign an owner and retain evidence.
