Lesson 21 / 30

Meta Tags

Add charset and description meta tags that browsers, search engines and social previews rely on.

Common meta tags

charset sets text encoding; description is shown in search results.

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="description" content="Learn HTML step by step.">
<meta name="author" content="SkillByAI">

Why meta tags matter

None of this is visible on the page, but browsers, search engines and social previews all read it.
