Meta Tags
Title: 22 chars
PASS
Title: 22 chars
Info::
Page title is set
Got: The University of Kent
Warning::
Title is only 22 characters — consider expanding
Info::
Title and H1 have very different wording
Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.
Title

"The University of Kent"

22 characters Too short
Title: The University of Kent
H1: Discover your potential
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.
