Meta Tags

The meta tag represents the Meta-data as well as provides information about the HTML document. The content contained in the Meta tags is not displayed on the web page; it is used by browsers and search engines to get information about the page.

So, meta tags are the HTML tags, which provide information about the content of a webpage. They tell what the page is about, who has created the page, when it is updated, keywords used to represent the page, etc. This information helps search engines index the webpage so that users looking for that or similar information could find it.

Meta tags are placed inside the head of HTML, i.e. <head>meta tags</head>. Users browsing your site cannot see them, but the search engine can see them to get a brief idea about your keywords and to know what your site is about.

There are three types of meta tags:
