</body>
</html>


Method 2: Using DOM querySelector() Method.

This will return the current title element of the page. The textContent property of an element returns the text content of a specific node. The title of the page can be changed by assigning the required new title as a string to the textContent property. This will change the title of the website to the preferred title. 


Syntax: 


newPageTitle = 'The title has changed!';
document.querySelector('title').textContent = newPageTitle;

<!DOCTYPE html>
