Meta tags are 'hidden codes' in the page's HTML code, but they are not seen by the person viewing the page when it is displayed on a browser.

Uses

  • The 'keywords' meta tag has key words which will be spotted by a search engine, rather than the search engine having to scan the entire document. It makes searches quicker.

There are other types of meta tags, e.g. for page titles, and for character/font settings etc.
