Hey there, we’re currently migrating a huge forum to Discourse and I realized that there is only one single “Title” that I can set. This title will both - be the actual, SEO relevant \ of the start page and - be added to any category and thread \ For SEO purposes, the \ of every page should be as descriptive as possible and should therefore contain the most relevant keywords. So for better rankings, the title of the **homepage** should contain SEO-relevant keywords. Like “Blabla Forum - the best advise around cats and cooking”. However, this will be automatically added to **thread** titles as well, so the result is for example an ugly looking, much too long “How do I best cook a young black cat, given that I am not yet experienced? - Blabla Forum - the best advise around cats and cooking”. You see the point? It would therefore be awesome, if we would be able to have separate settings for the homepage title and a string that will be added to the titles of the rest of the forum. ---

I like this suggestion! On meta our home page title is: “Discourse Meta” and our site description is “Discussion about the next-generation open source Discourse forum software” I think it is reasonable to amend it so our home page title is “title” + “some other string” At the moment when searching for meta Discourse you get: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/2/e246e066b966989d4d15ddefd383384927c62311.png) I think it would be cool if it said: `Discourse Meta - Official community support forum` There is lots of precedent here, for example Stack Overflow has: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/9/c941092469f0a6a56f692130318a6d9121a17aeb.png) @codinghorror what are your thoughts on adding “short site description” site setting? Description is too long here, its like we need a “short description” I think this has lots of impact on the way your site shows up in Google and noticed it a lot over the years. ---

Probably OK but wizard must be amended to fully support it on day zero. ---

New site setting `short site description` has been added for this purpose. It is going to be appended to the site title on home page like this: `Site Title - Short Site Description` [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dbbadb5c357bc23daf1fa732f8670e55dc28b7cb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dbbadb5c357bc23daf1fa732f8670e55dc28b7cb) ---

I just set it up here 😊 Looks like it is mostly working, but we are still fighting with JavaScript a bit, cause when I visit [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) I see it, but then it flashes away. ---

@maja can you spend say 10-20 minutes seeing if you can get rid of the “flash” where the title changes when you visit [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) (hit reload) If it is looking too messy just feel free to close this, cause the core request works properly: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/8/d89c45a4527135b780da6e046e5953f57dba5b0a.png) ---
