    Bill, what gary is describing is you need to add a Page Title to each page.
    in Xara, Web properties > Page > Page title.
    In the browser, you will see this in your table and also at the middle top of the browser window.
    SEO (Google) looks for this. Forget SEO and think Accessibility: a screen reader narrates the Title and if none the filename. Who wants to hear index dot htm versus Home?

    Just a dumb question Acorn. I understand changing the page title which I prefer. I do get a warning dialogue box when I do it. If the index page is labelled Home, upon upload, will Home, be still understood as the Index file and the first page of the site. Thank You.

    I did not tell you to change the page filename to home. There are the Page title and the Page filename.
    Page filename is always lowercase and the part of the address in the URL to the page.
    Xara defaults the first page in a design to index.
    If you change index to home, you get a warning and the assets are then saved into a home_htm(l)_files folder instead of index_htm(l)_files. You address would then be ...\home.htm(l), which you probably do not want as you have to tell the server how to open the site when then is no index.htm(l).

    What you have not been doing is adding a Page title.
    A Page title can be any text in any case toy like. It gets truncated in a browser tab but the top header of the bowser should show the full text.
    A Page title does not affect navigation but improved Accessibility, presentation and SEO.
