Meta Tag Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

The meta tag generator helps to organize tags in the HTML header section to explain the page to browsers and search engines. Important tags include charset, viewport, description, canonical, and Open Graph for preview when links are shared. This tool reduces the risk of typing errors on meta attributes.

Key points

The UTF-8 meta charset should be placed at the earliest in the head
Meta description is a short summary that often appears in search results
Meta viewport makes the page adjust the width of the device
Open Graph sets the title, description, and image when the links are shared
Canonical helps to show the main URL if there is duplicate content
