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.

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.
