Meta Tags
The <meta> element represents metadata that cannot be expressed through other head elements. Common examples include character encoding, viewport configuration, description metadata, and robots directives.
Meta Tags
<meta charset="UTF-8">\n<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">\n<meta name="description" content="HTML course for modern web developers.">\n<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">💡 Each meta element provides metadata through attributes such as name, content, or charset.
Key Takeaways
- Meta tags provide document metadata.
- Do not expect every meta tag to directly improve search ranking.
