Outside <head>
What This Means
Pages with a <title> element that is outside of the <head> element in the HTML. The page <title> should be within the <head> element, or search engines may ignore it. Google will often still recognise the page title even outside of the <head> element, however this should not be relied upon.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when a page has a <title> element outside of the <head> element in the HTML. Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> ...
</head>
<title>What Am I Doing Here?
</title>
<body> ...
</body>
</html>How To Fix
Ensure the page <title> element is in the <head> element of a page’s HTML so that browsers can use it at the top of their window, and search engines can use it in scoring.
