Title tag
The title tag is the page title in the HTML head. It is the headline search engines usually show for your page in the results.
A searcher reads the title before anything else, so it carries both relevance and the reason to click. Put the topic of the page first, keep it to what the page is really about, and write it as a person would.
Search engines sometimes show a different title than the one you wrote, for instance when it is empty, stuffed with keywords or the same on many pages. A distinct, descriptive title makes that less likely.
