    Functionally, none. The HTML code looks slightly different:
    Page titles use <title>
    Meta titles use <meta name="title"...>

    Meta title and page title are two different elements which serve different purposes and appear in different locations.

    Page Title (Title Tag) is an HTML element placed within the <head> section of a web page. It is not visible on the actual page but is displayed in the browser's title bar or tab when the page is open. It's also what appears as the clickable link in search engine results.

    The primary purpose of the page title is to provide a concise, descriptive title for the individual web page. It should accurately represent the content of the page and be relevant to the keywords or topics covered on that page. Page titles play a crucial role in SEO, as search engines use them to understand the content and relevance of a page to a user's search query.

    Meta Title (Meta Title Tag), also known as the meta title tag or meta tag, is an HTML meta element within the <head> section of a web page's HTML code. It is not visible on the page itself but is included in the page's metadata.

    The meta title serves a different purpose from the page title. It is used to provide a title for search engines and other web crawlers to understand what the page is about. While it can be similar to the page title, it is often more concise and focused on specific keywords or phrases relevant to the page's content. The meta title is not typically seen by users when they visit the web page, but it does appear as the clickable link in search engine results.
