HTML markup `meta` and `title` tags: Readability and Clarity / Search Engine Optimization / Accessibility

Homepage is missing the: meta content

The HTML <title> tag should not have extra whitespace around its content for functional or semantic reasons. While whitespace within the HTML markup (like indentation or line breaks) is generally ignored by browsers and search engines for rendering, the content of the <title> tag itself should be concise and focused.

Same for meta tags

The HTML <title> tag should not have extra whitespace around its content for functional or semantic reasons. While whitespace within the HTML markup (like indentation or line breaks) is generally ignored by browsers and search engines for rendering, the content of the <title> tag itself should be concise and focused.

The document.title WHAT WG documentation says to "Strip and collapse ASCII whitespace in value." Therefore I don't think "should not have extra whitespace around its content" holds. I could not find any article recommending to do this for any reason. Despite this, I would still like to fix this issue, on pure formatting grounds. We should also supply the missing meta/@content value.
