Description

Using duplicate page titles for unique URLs is an a11y issue. For example, in a large list of tabs, it makes it difficult to quickly pick out an individual tab among many with the same name. For users using a screen reader, the page title can help identify how pages differentiate from one another.

18f recommends unique page titles as well as putting the most unique part first:

​https://accessibility.18f.gov/page-titles/

It’s easier to jump between pages if each page title is unique. It’s also helpful to have the unique portion first, usually the name of the page.

The title should describe the web site as well as the specific page being displayed by the site.

Projects that I work on have had customers run a11y scans and have highlighted this as a compliance issue.

Yes. Good. I've stumbled on this myself. I think this would be one of those affordances that would help everybody, not just a11y per se.
Thanks. 👍
