Picture it — you’re looking at a beautiful page on your website, everything’s perfect. You’re an amazing designer! All of a sudden a twitch sets in — how did that superfluous number get up there in the browser tab?!

Here’s the fix for how to get rid of those (annoying!) extra numbers in your browser tab titles and make sure every page’s tab says exactly what you want it to.

Eliminating Pesky Numbers from Your Browser Titles
This is a super common frustration with a really easy fix. Got an unwanted number after your page title in the browser tab? Not to worry, we can clean that right up.
Where to Change Page Titles

scroll down to where it says: SEO TITLE (OPTIONAL)
delete any unwanted numbers

Page Title Guidelines
Of course you can also change your page’s title altogether, just make sure it’s clear and accurately descriptive. Instead of “Blog” you might choose to call your page “Recipes” or “Tutorials” or whatnot. Instead of “Portfolio” you might use “Gallery” or “Designs.”
Where to Change the Whole Site Title
(you can do this right in your editor!)
click Edit in your site
hover over your header
click Edit Site Header
hover over your logo or title until you see blue outlines
click once to bring up edit option, then click the pencil
click in the Site Title field to edit your sitewide title
click Save
You did it!
Now you should see exactly what you want in your browser tabs for all the pages on your site, and you know how to change them if you need to.
