thanks @rvlak! haven't heard this request before. could be interesting to experiment by allowing to for instance click on "page url" header to change it to show "page title" instead. or allow the export of url + title in our CSV. is there any specific reason that you're reporting by page title rather than the url? |

Please consider adding this. The use-case is the same as above. |

Do some people also need both? Or is it a choice between URL vs title? Meaning, should we collect and surface BOTH the title and url, or would it be ok to just collect one or the other depending on user choice? |

I need this feature as well, but in my case it's for goal tracking. |

I would also like to see this although for a different reason. Our journalists change the titles a lot resulting in lot's of different nice URLs. These end up as different pages in Plausible. I can use custom location but that doesn't really work because that would make the path unintelligible (like for example a UUID). So it would be great if I could:
Ps. I assume that you use the URL as the primary key in the database (for the above to work). |

Note that contrary to for example Google analytics or Matomo the title currently doesn't seem to be included in what's send to Plausible on a pageview. So Plausible currently does not have the data to display titles. |

While it wouldn't suit everyone, one option that would allow retrospective naming of urls and not require additional storage would be Goal Names for Pageview Goals #838. It would mean that you needed to manually define a goal for each url, so not ideal for very large sites, or sites with highly dynamic urls. I don't think it's a replacement for this feature request, but it might be a good stop gap for many use cases, particularly becasue you can group pages using wildcards. If you could then use OR logic #3122 it would make Goals quite a good swiss army knife for reporting to non-technical team members which was one of the original stated goals of this feature request. |

Also needing this... are there any workarounds currently? |

The 'Top pages' report can only show URLs, which makes it a bit cumbersome to use for reporting back to the rest of the organisation. For a simpel report on e.g. our Top 25 pages, I'd have to manually look up and copy 25 page titles into an Excel. Would it be possible to add a toggle switch or menu option to show 'Titles' instead of 'URLs'?
