HTML Meta & SEO
The <head> of your document is where you define how the world sees your website. It doesn't render content on the page itself but provides essential instructions to the browser.
The Title Tag
The <title> tag is crucial. It appears in the browser tab and is the primary link text in Google search results. Keep it under 60 characters for best visibility.
Meta Description
The <meta name="description"> provides a summary of your page. Search engines use this for the snippet below the link. It should be persuasive to encourage clicks (CTR).
