X5 is adding extra words to the end of my Extended Page Title area..... why?
example:
field has: search abthermal web site
results when published to server: search abthermal web site - AB thermal
Posté le
Before the "-" is the title of the current page of the homepage and behind the title of the website (from 1 Settings General). Good to see, when you switch sides.

You meant switch sites?
But its not good for SEO - can it not be disabled?
You can try to omit the main title and expand the page titles, but the line will stay. But I think Google is better if the combination of the title is available.

It adds to the duplicate content in relation to all other pages on the site - google will penalize that. The more words in the meta that are the same google may say same content and not index certain pages.
This is not good - X5 needs a way to disable this.
Hi Adrian.
I'm pretty sure that having the - AB thermal in the page title will in no way penalize your website in rankings. In fact, it is a normal pratice that even YouTube itself uses and is accustomed to.
Every video or page you open, will present you with the Video's title plus the YouTube website name.
Would it be possible for you to eventually link here where it is said otherwise so that we might investigate further?
Keep me posted

Here is what I would say from everything I have learned over the years:
By having the "AB thermal" added to each page title, it means that you have to have "AB thermal" in the page somewhere, or google relates the title as having no relancence to the content. This is fundamental SEO procedure.
By having the same words on every page title and then also on every page, it raises the likelihood the search engine will consider the page content as duplicate.
It is also considered keyword stuffing - a basic SEO no no.
It also adds to the length of the page title, and means I have to take other more relavavent words out of the title to keep the length optimal - you are forcing me to reduce the value of the page title to search engines.
And here is what I am seeing:
I have gone to dozens of the sites I normally go to: banking sites, news sites, big well known software vendor sites, travel sites, etc. When I look at their tage titles, they all have their business name or website name at the end.!!! I hadn't noticed this before!
I'm scratching my head - it goes against all the SEO rules that I have read and learned.....
