HTML Meta Tags & Best Practices for SEO

Is chapter me hum HTML ke head-level elements ko detail me samjhenge. Ye tags directly page par dikhte nahi hain, lekin SEO, performance, browser behavior aur overall site quality ke liye bahut important hote hain.

<meta> Tag

<meta> tag page ke baare me information deta hai browsers aur search engines ko. Ye content ka part nahi hota, lekin context define karta hai.

  • Character encoding batata hai
  • Page description aur SEO signals deta hai
  • Mobile responsiveness control karta hai

Common Meta Tags Example


<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="description"
        content="Learn HTML head tags with SEO-friendly examples">
  <meta name="viewport"
        content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>

SEO Tip:
Meta description ranking factor nahi hai, lekin CTR directly affect karti hai.

<link> Tag

<link> tag external resources jaise CSS files, icons aur fonts ko page se connect karta hai.

  • Stylesheets load karta hai
  • Browser ko relationship batata hai
  • SEO aur performance signals deta hai

Stylesheet Link Example


<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Favicon Example


<link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png">

Tip:
CSS ko hamesha <head> ke andar load karein.

<base> Tag

<base> tag ek default base URL ya target define karta hai sabhi relative links ke liye.

Warning:
Base tag misuse karne se saare links galat open ho sakte hain.

<script> Tag

<script> tag JavaScript ko HTML page me add karta hai. Ye interactivity aur logic provide karta hai.

Inline Script Example


<script>
  alert("Hello HTML");
</script>

External Script Example


<script src="script.js"></script>

Performance Tip:
Scripts ko body ke end me ya defer attribute ke saath load karein.

<noscript> Tag

<noscript> tag tab show hota hai jab user ka browser JavaScript disable karta hai.

UX Tip:
Critical info hamesha JavaScript ke bina bhi available hona chahiye.

Deprecated HTML Tags

Deprecated tags wo hote hain jo ab modern HTML me recommended nahi hain.

  • <font>
  • <center>
  • <marquee>
  • <big>

Bad Practice Example


<font color="red">Hello</font>
<center>Welcome</center>

Modern Alternative


<p class="text-red">Hello</p>
<div class="center">Welcome</div>

Fix:
Presentation ke liye CSS use karein, HTML nahi.

Common Beginner Mistakes

  • Meta viewport miss karna
  • Scripts ko galat jagah load karna
  • Deprecated tags ka use
  • Base tag bina samjhe use karna
  • Noscript ko ignore karna

Warning:
Head section ki galtiyan SEO aur performance dono ko impact karti hain.

Key Takeaways

  • Meta tags page context define karte hain
  • Link tag external resources connect karta hai
  • Base tag powerful hai par risky bhi
  • Script aur noscript UX aur functionality manage karte hain
  • Deprecated tags se hamesha bachna chahiye
