The Understanding doc for SC 2.4.2 says: "The intent of this Success Criterion is to help users find content and orient themselves within it by ensuring that each Web page has a descriptive title. Titles identify the current location without requiring users to read or interpret page content". Sometimes I see pages with title set to "Home" or "Home page" etc. with no reference to org.'s name. There is no logo / banner right below too. There are other similar examples. Now for instance, if I have ABC.com site open and say also XYZ.com and both have set page titles to just "Home", then switching from one window to another really does not identify context ... though it conveys page topic as home page. Likewise if I am on a "Read more" link placed below a heading text, say on ABC.com site for instance the context info read out for the Read More link will be "Home" + the heading text. Home of what? I fault such cases saying page title is inadequate and it fails SC 2.4.2. Certainly poor branding and poor design. Opinions? Sailesh Panchang www.deque.com
