What is a Meta Tag?

A meta tag provides information about an HTML webpage to the browser and search engines.

Meta tags are written inside the section of an HTML document.

Example of Meta Tags

<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<meta name="description"
      content="This is my personal website.">

Hello World!

Important points:

• Meta tags are placed inside .
• They usually don't display visible content on the webpage.
• The tag is a void element, so it doesn't need a closing tag.
• The viewport meta tag is important for responsive web design.
