The discussion revolves around SEO titling on topics in Discourse. mitchellk initially requested a way to change the page title format, which currently adds the site title to the topic and category, resulting in a long title. mitchellk later shortened their site name to resolve the issue, but Sunny pointed out that this approach compromises search engine ranking optimization for the site title. Both Sunny and mitchellk agree that customizable title settings would be beneficial, allowing users to tailor their SEO approach.
I have searched for an answer to this but to no avail.
Is there any way to change the way Discourse creates the page title for a topic.
What is happening is that it correctly builds the page title using TOPIC+CATEGORY but then it adds the Site Title at the end so it’s doing TOPIC+CATEGORY+SITE-TITLE which ends up in a rather long page title that goes beyond the recommended limit for search engines.
It would be a nice option and result in cleaner looking SEO results if the page title were not so long on topics.
But - that prevents you from optimising the site title for search engine ranking.
So long as the Site Title shows at the end of the title, it is fine. But even I would prefer it to be just the Topic+Category. May be a static forum name at the end of the title (optionally).
