Why do we use head tag in HTML Page?
The <head> tag is a container for all the head elements in an HTML page. We use <head>…</head> tag to add it to HTML page. head tag contains the title of the document, styles, scripts, and other HTML elements.
The <head> element is a container for metadata-data about data and is placed between the <html>…</html> tag.
The following elements can go inside the <head> element −
<title> − Use in every HTML page defines the title of the content.
<style> − Used to apply a simple style to HTML document
<base> − Specify a default URL and a default target for all links on a page.
<link> − Defines the relationship between the current document and an external resource.
<meta> − Defines metadata about an HTML document, typically used to specify a character set, page description, keywords, author of the document, and viewport settings.
<script> − Used to embed a client-side script (JavaScript), it points to an external script file through the src attribute.
<noscript> − Defines an alternate content to be displayed to users that have disabled scripts in their browser or have a browser that doesn't support script. The <noscript> element can be used in both <head> and <body>.
