Medium impact · weight 6 · worth up to 1.9 points of the total score
Below about 30 characters the strongest on-page signal is left half unused; past about 60 Google truncates the title in the results page and the tail is wasted.
Rewrite the title to roughly 30-60 characters, front-loading the term the page should rank for.

Canonical points at this page
A canonical aimed somewhere else tells Google to index that other URL instead of this one. Done by accident, usually by copying a template, it removes the page from search while everything still looks fine on screen.
Document declares its language
The lang attribute tells screen readers which pronunciation rules to use and helps search engines serve the page to the right audience. Without it a screen reader may read English text with the wrong phonetics.
Meta description length is in range
Descriptions shorter than about 120 characters leave the snippet half empty; past about 160 the end is cut off mid-sentence.
Heading levels are not skipped
Screen readers and crawlers read headings as an outline. Jumping from H2 straight to H4 implies a missing level, so the outline reports a section that does not exist.
