This Hint will trigger for any internal URL that has multiple titles.
This Hint will trigger for any URL that has more than one title tag in the <head>:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>I am the Title of this page</title>
<title>Alas, for I am the Real Title of this page</title>
...
</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>There are two issues to resolve here:
To solve #1, you will need to look at the page template and/or what plugins are being used, in order to isolate how more than one title tag is being set. This will need to be adjusted so that only one title tag is set - which may require help from a developer.
Furthermore, when you are removing the superfluous titles, you will also want to make sure that you are keeping the 'correct' one - the one that has been specifically written to encourage engagement, and thus fix issue #2.
