DISCUSS: Are breadcrumb-style titles still recommended?

• This is an enhancement.
• Version: Neos 8.3 (currently all Neos versions)

I got feedback from SEO experts that breadcrumb-style titles are not recommended. I did some research, and most websites just use a title; in some cases, a brand name was attached after a separator, but never the full breadcrumb.

If this is not state-of-the-art anymore, I would recommend changing this with the next major release.

Also got this feedback in the past. I think we should move to a simpler default and make the current behavior an option.

@rolandschuetz Could you create a PR for this?

[rolandschuetz]

Sure, I would just need to know if we should make it just the page title or page title + separator + site name.

[jonnitto]

I would make it configurarable

[ahaeslich]

page title + separator + site name

That's at least how we set it since, well ages, in our projects 😅. Never realised the Neos.Seo:TitleTag actually generates a breadcrumb. Explains why we actually set the titleTag ourselfs.

If this is not state-of-the-art anymore, I would recommend changing this with the next major release.

This will then probably only be available starting with Neos 9 as neos/seo 4.x is already incompatible with Neos 8.

We already have the case thing in there so making it dependent on a config with a new default and turning the suffix thing into a process would make sense IMO.
