No page title in report

Hello everyone,

on Matomo dashboard, under “Behaviour” → “Pagetile” lists a lots of pages with page path from connected website instead of page title. Listed pages with page title are in minority. I have picked some pages from this overview to check if the title attribute is missing. All picked pages owns this attribute.

I’m new with Matomo and I’ve got the task to fix it. Where can I start with my investigation and what could be a possible reason for this behaviour?

Thansk in advanced

Hello @reporter If some pages show the correct page title while others display the URL path instead, it usually means that Matomo isn’t receiving a proper document.title value or that a custom page title isn’t being passed in the tracking call.

A good place to start is checking how the page title is being set in your tracking code. Matomo explains this here:

This guide will help you verify whether your implementation is sending the right title for each page.
