Make your content more Informative by using Meta tags

What Meta tags Means?

HTML meta tags are officially page data tags that lie between the opening and closing head tags in the HTML code of a document.

The text in these tags is not displayed, but useful and tells the browsers (or other web services) specific information about the page. Simply, it “describe” the page so a browser can understand it.

Here’s a code example of meta tags:
 <head>
 <title>It's Not a Meta Tag, but required anyway</title>
 <meta name="description" content="Awesome Description Here">
 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
 </head>
