HTML and meta-elements
Metadata is information about data.
The label provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata is not displayed on the page, but is readable for the machine.
Typically, the meta element is used to specify the description of the page, keywords, author of the document, last modified time, and other metadata.
The label is always in the head element.
Metadata can be used for browsers (how to display content or reload pages), search engines (keywords), or other Web services.
Keywords for search engines
Some search engines use the name and content properties of meta elements to index your pages.
The following meta element defines the description of the page:
<meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials on HTML, CSS, XML" />
The following meta element defines the key words of the page:
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, XML" />
