# twitter:title

Provides the title used in an X Card link preview. The metadata name retains the twitter: prefix.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Learn Web Development Basics">
```

Names the topic of the page directly.

Good example

```
<meta name="twitter:title" content="10 Tips for Beginner Photographers">
```

A specific article title.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Read This Now!">
```

Too vague to identify the page.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:title" content="">
```

An empty value provides no card title.

## Recommendations

- 01 Name the Page Clearly X may truncate long titles, so put the distinguishing words first.
- 02 Match the Page The card title can differ from the HTML title, but both should describe the same page.
