The Header Tag

The “Header Tag” is situated at the top of the source code in a webpage. The header tag is usually made up of three components the “Title tag”, the “Description tag” and the “Meta tag(s)”.

Modern browsers are very tolerant of your internal page layout, so if you miss out tags like , and , along with their associated cloding tags, you’re unlikely to see a problem with the layout of your page.
