It happens from 1 or 2 days with various browsers, and only when I open the forums (this, my, and other discourse forums) but not when I navigate through the various topics.

Is a voluntary change?

I can repro on Meta and Try. I don’t believe this is intentionally, but it’s also incredibly minor.

Certainly, in fact I opened this topic only for curiosity, believing that it was a desired change and wondering if I got lost some discussion about it.

If there was discussion I missed it too 😅.

The closest thing to a discussion about this that _might_ be related that I can remember seeing was about the importance of having a good title for SEO purposes.

“Page 1” is an awful title for SEO purposes.

It makes sense - text-only viewers / JS disabled users / crawlers get a paginated view of the forum rendered server side so that it can still be used. ‘Page 1 - Discourse Meta’

Then when the app loads the page title is replaced with just e.g. ‘Discourse Meta’.

Maybe you just now noticed it and it’s like the Fedex arrow - you can’t unsee it? 🙂

EDIT: it does appear to be a difference that has come up recently, but I’m not sure why - haven’t dug into it.

Can you repro this @techapj on a connection from India with more delay? I wonder where that title text would be coming from.

It’s coming from the HTML title provided in the initial page load.

Hmm if it is the non-crawler HTML we should fix that @techapj. I can’t easily view source on my iPad to verify.

I can repro this here on Meta, added on my list to fix. 📝

I just fixed this, the flashing was bugging me.
