What is the Title Tag

Every webpage has a title tag. You can see a picture that shows the title of this website. It is the name of every page that will show when you share the link on social media. Search engines always detect the title of the webpage and try to understand what about the pages so that Search engines can optimize the page perfectly.

This is why it is very important to put the proper title for the webpage so that search engine robots understand where they are and what are you selling. The title tag is an opportunity for the webpage to introduce the pages. There you see the green arrow direction which is the title of the site.

There are some important things for you:

• Every web page should have a unique title.
• The title will represent the page so it must be relevant to the content of the webpage.
• The title must contain the keyword but not too much.

Google didn’t mention any limit on the number of characters for the title. Google is too smart and will understand every word that you add to the title.

We hope that you understand the importance of title and now let’s manage the title of your store which is called the store name.

How to Remove the Shop Title

If you don’t want to show the title then you can do it. We are using the PrestaShop classic theme. If your theme is overridden then go to the theme folder,

public_html/theme/classic/templates/_partials folder, and then go to head.tpl file

In this file, you will see the hard-code title tags.

There you can see the <title>{block name=’head_seo_title’}{$page.meta.title}{/block}</title> tags. So remove them to completely remove the title.

As we mentioned, title tags are very important for the SEO of your store. So we suggest you not remove the title tags.
