Page source

The underlying code that generates the visual elements that are shown in a web browser is known as the page source. It can be viewed by using the "View Page Source" or "View Source" option in the browser's menu. It was created using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. (Murach 2017, pp. 34)

Meta tags

Meta tags are HTML tags that offer metadata about a web page. Users cannot see them because they are hidden in the "head" portion of an HTML document. Keywords, descriptions, and the author of the page are just a few examples of the data that can be included in meta tags. Search engines utilise them to comprehend the page's content and display it in search results (Murach, 2017, p. 22).
