For a website SEO, I have compiled a complete list of meta tags. You can find online Meta Tags Generator tools also. Meta tags are snippets of HTML code placed in the head section of a web page. They provide metadata—information about the web page—that helps search engines and browsers understand the content and context of the page. Meta tags do not appear directly on the page itself but play a crucial role in SEO (Search Engine Optimization), user experience, and how content is indexed and displayed in search results.
Here is the complete list of meta tags.
There are different types of meta tags, each serving a specific purpose. For example:
- Meta Keywords: Used to list relevant keywords for the page (although now mostly ignored by modern search engines).
- Meta Description: A short summary of the page content, often displayed in search engine results.
- Meta Robots: Controls how search engine bots crawl and index the page.
- Meta Author: Specifies the name and contact info of the content author.
- Meta Language: Declares the language of the web page content.
While not all meta tags are necessary, using the right ones correctly can improve your site’s visibility, accessibility, and professionalism.
