Hi Alan-
By default, the page’s title is the <H1> for the page, and the H1 element is generally regarded as important for SEO.
If you hide the page title, you should make sure that you include an H1 header somewhere in your page’s content. This might actually work to your benefit, because the word “home” on a home page is really not a very good H1, since it really doesn’t say anything about what the content of the page is about.
