Rule page.title.too-long

Shorten the page <title>

page.title.too-long is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades medium-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.

Impact: mediumEffort: lowFixable: 1-click

Why it matters

Titles longer than ~60 characters get truncated in search results. AI assistants also score the title as one of the strongest topical signals: a truncated title disposes of the bit they keyed off. Lead with the most important phrase and trim brand suffixes.

The fix

```html
<!-- Aim for 50–60 characters. Primary phrase first; brand last. -->
<title>Primary Phrase: Brand Name</title>
```
