What are Meta Tags?

About Meta Tags

Meta tags are HTML elements that provide metadata about a webpage. They don't appear on the page itself but rather in the page's source code, informing search engines and browsers about the page's content, keywords, authorship, and other important details. While Meta Tags are not visible to users, they play a crucial role in SEO, helping search engines understand the relevance and context of the webpage.
