Can you update the reproduction to reproduce this without @nuxtjs/i18n?

If not, would you open an issue in https://github.com/nuxt-modules/i18n instead? 🙏

[github-actions]

Would you be able to provide a reproduction? 🙏

More info

Why do I need to provide a reproduction?

Reproductions make it possible for us to triage and fix issues quickly with a relatively small team. It helps us discover the source of the problem, and also can reveal assumptions you or we might be making.

What will happen?

If you've provided a reproduction, we'll remove the label and try to reproduce the issue. If we can, we'll mark it as a bug and prioritize it based on its severity and how many people we think it might affect.

If needs reproduction labeled issues don't receive any substantial activity (e.g., new comments featuring a reproduction link), we'll close them. That's not because we don't care! At any point, feel free to comment with a reproduction and we'll reopen it.

How can I create a reproduction?

We have a couple of templates for starting with a minimal reproduction:

👉 https://stackblitz.com/github/nuxt/starter/tree/v3-stackblitz
👉 https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt/starter/v3-codesandbox

A public GitHub repository is also perfect. 👌

Please ensure that the reproduction is as minimal as possible. See more details in our guide.

Sorry, but I've checked your reproduction and it seems to have a defined title. What do I need to do to reproduce?

@danielroe Yes, i't have a title, but i don't know why in google SERP title is undefined.

[danielroe]

ccing @harlan-zw in case he's encountered this before, but it's very difficult to investigate in this situation

[carlosvaldesweb]

@danielroe I'm thinking that the issue is related that this line

const title = computed(() =>
  route.meta.title
    ? route.meta.title
    : ''
);

When i set empty title, the tag is empty

<title></title>

According to Mozilla, this tag must always have text.

I've changed my code to the following:

const title = computed(() =>
  route.meta.title
    ? route.meta.title
    : undefined
);

Those pages always have a title, but I don't know why Google does that. I'm not sure if there might be an issue with the delay hydration module or if sometimes nuxt sends the empty tag during SSR. What do you think? I've changed my code and push to production, i'll be monitoring these days and updating in this issue.

[harlan-zw]

The issue was probably related to the hydration of the title, given that you have the nuxt-delay-hydration module. Either hydrating to undefined before flashing back "my title" -> undefined -> "my title" or undefined -> "my title".

The current site looks correct so this will sort itself out once google re-indexes it. Will close for now but feel free to ping me if it doesn't sort itself out.

I've also made unjs/unhead#359 to track not including empty titles.
