Introduction Meta tags are HTML elements embedded into a web page that provides information about that web page. There are many different types of meta information that can be used, and this information is used by the web server, the browser, web search engines, and blocking software to gain more information about the page. When a web page is requested from a web server, the server first checks for the existence of the page. If the page does exist, the server then sends an HTTP header to the browser, followed by the requested page. This header contains information such as the current date and time, the type of web server it is, and other types of information.
