Description

I've noticed that there's a bit of a lag between a route changing and the title property updating. I'm guessing that this is around 200 - 300ms. While minor, it does look just a bit off. I experience this in both my project and also running the react-helmet-example. Are there any suggestions about reducing this lag? If not, is there any known faster way to update the document's title?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the delay in title updates when routes change. Check if the issue is related to React's batching or asynchronous rendering. Look at the react helmet source code for how it handles the title attribute and consider using requestAnimationFrame or useEffect cleanup.
