Difficulty of Correcting<br />

b. Page Titles<br />
Unique, descriptive page titles are essential for screen reader users. It is the first<br />

the site, lets them determine if a link they clicked on took them to the desired<br />
location, and lets them know if form submissions have resulted in errors. In<br />
addition, page titles are the default titles shown in search engines and are used<br />
when pages are bookmarked, so descriptive titles are essential for helping all<br />
users find the content.<br />
