10 Best Practices for Improved HTML Code Quality 💯✅

Here are 10 best practices for improving the quality of your HTML code:

1. Use semantic HTML: Write HTML that clearly conveys the meaning and structure of the content, using appropriate tags such as <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, <footer>, etc.

2. Use lowercase tags and attributes: It is considered good practice to use lowercase letters for all HTML tags and attributes, as this makes the code easier to read and maintain.

3. Validate your code: Use an HTML validator tool to check your code for errors and ensure that it complies with the HTML standard.

4. Use indentation and comments: Use proper indentation and comments to make your code more readable and understandable for other developers.

5. Use appropriate attribute values: Use appropriate values for attributes such as alt, title, and href to improve accessibility and SEO.

6. Use CSS for presentation: Use CSS for styling and layout, rather than inline styles or HTML tags such as <font>, <b>, or <i>.

7. Avoid deprecated tags and attributes: Avoid using deprecated HTML tags and attributes, such as <center> or <font>, as they are no longer considered best practices and may cause compatibility issues.

8. Use relative paths: Use relative paths for links and references to other files and resources, as this makes the code more portable and easier to maintain.

9. Optimize images: Use optimized and appropriately sized images to improve page load times and overall performance.

10. Test your code: Test your HTML code on different browsers and devices to ensure that it displays and functions correctly for all users.
