HTML <head> best practices

There are <meta> tags and other things you can place in the <head> of your HTML document. What <meta> tags etc. and best practices do you make use of in your HTML document to make it more accessible, searchable, optimized etc.

Solution

  • In my case:

    • Title (should do [Section Name - Site Name] for better SEO)
    • Meta tag for Content-type, description, and keywords
    • Link to stylesheet(s) (don't forget to specify the media="").
    • <script> tag that links to external javascript files.

    All tags should follow the W3C's standard. The W3C site has a more technical and detailed section about the HTML <head> section.
