Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/814

Data

Shiori version: v1.5.5
Database Engine: n/a
Operating system: Docker container
CLI/Web interface/Web Extension: Web interface

Describe the bug / actual behavior

When adding a URL like https://www.facebook.com and not entering any other info (like title or excerpt), the title is replaced with the URL rather than the actual page title of the website (like what it does for the excerpt). It will only update correctly if I update the archive.

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Home'
Click on 'Add new bookmark'
Use any URL like https://www.facebook.com (leave all fields empty, in my screenshots, 'Create archive' is selected but same behavior when unchecked)
Refresh and see the updated thumbnail
Edit the newly created bookmark, and you will see the 'Title' has the used URL 'https://www.facebook.com' but 'Excerpt' has nicely been updated based on the webpage content.

Workaround to update title based on webpage:

Click on 'Update archive'
Uncheck all the boxes
Click 'YES'
Now it will show the actual title of the webpage

Workaround:

Notes

I assume the expected behavior is that the actual webpage title is shown upon adding a URL and not updating any of the 'Title' and 'Excerpt' fields.
