Head

The HTML <head> element contains meta-information such as the page (<title>), character encoding (<meta>), and links to stylesheets and scripts, not visible on the page.

Key Components of the <head> Tag

<title>

The <title> tag defines the document’s title, which is displayed in the browser tab.

index.html
<title>Document Title</title>

<meta>

The <meta> tag is used for providing essential metadata like character encoding, description, author, and keywords.

index.html
<meta charset="UTF-8" />  
<meta name="description" content="Learn HTML" />  
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, Tutorial" />  
<meta name="author" content="Your Name" />

The <link> tag is used to link external resources such as CSS files.

index.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />

<style>

The <style> tag is used to define internal CSS styles directly within the document.

index.html
<style>  
  body {  
    background-color: lightblue;  
  }  
</style>

<script>

The <script> tag is used to include external or inline JavaScript, enabling interactive functionality.

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

<base>

The <base> tag sets a base URL for all relative links in the document.

index.html
<base href="https://institute.qarpeo.com" />

Conclusion

The <head> element is crucial for defining the document’s metadata, title, links to stylesheets, scripts, and other necessary settings. It plays a vital role in how the webpage is structured, displayed, and understood by both browsers and search engines.
