    When using h1 tags, I've learned know to use the tags with the page title. What and where is the page title compared to the site title?Thanks!

    The Site-title is usually the website you are visiting. However, the page title, it will be the title of the page you are visiting. For example, this site page title will be "Differance between page title and site title?"

    In general, the page title is what appears at the top of the browser.
    And the site title refers to what website you are visiting.

    If you see through SEO perspective then they are the same. As what you are visiting every time is a page not site all alone. But logically as my fellow users have already discussed your site name can serve as site title where as the page title is all about what your page is having.

    The Site title means the website which you are visiting. So for this I would most likely put DP forums, or if its asks for the URL it would forums(dot)digitalpoint(dot)com
    BUt on the other hand the page title would be the title of the page which you are currently visiting. in this case this site I would put: "What is the difference between Site Title and Page Title?"

    Usually, the page title is what shows up at the top of your browser, and the site title refers to what website you are visiting.

    Site title is the domain name while page title is the H1, usually the title of the article on that page.
