Are you looking for a way to improve SEO of your WordPress website? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to use SEO friendly title in your current theme in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is replace the title tag of your theme’s header.php file with this code:

<title><?php if ( is_category() ) {
	echo 'Category Archive for &quot;'; single_cat_title(); echo '&quot; | '; bloginfo( 'name' );
} elseif ( is_tag() ) {
	echo 'Tag Archive for &quot;'; single_tag_title(); echo '&quot; | '; bloginfo( 'name' );
} elseif ( is_archive() ) {
	wp_title(''); echo ' Archive | '; bloginfo( 'name' );
} elseif ( is_search() ) {
	echo 'Search for &quot;'.wp_specialchars($s).'&quot; | '; bloginfo( 'name' );
} elseif ( is_home() ) {
	bloginfo( 'name' ); echo ' | '; bloginfo( 'description' );
}  elseif ( is_404() ) {
	echo 'Error 404 Not Found | '; bloginfo( 'name' );
} elseif ( is_single() ) {
	wp_title('');
} else {
	echo wp_title( ' | ', false, right ); bloginfo( 'name' );
} ?></title>
