Plugin

description

The description shares at least one meaningful word with the title.

Why: A description that shares no words with the title may belong to another page. Common words such as "the" and "and" do not count. The singular and plural of a word match, such as "story" and "stories".

When off: any description passes.

<!-- ✗ Fails -->
<title>The Bakery</title>
<meta name="description" content="The shop in town." />

<!-- ✓ Passes -->
<title>The Bakery</title>
<meta name="description" content="Our bakery bakes bread every morning." />

<title>Our Breads</title>
<meta name="description" content="Each bread is baked every morning." />
