Semantic HTML means using HTML tags that describe the meaning or purpose of the content inside them. Instead of using generic tags like <div>
or <span>
everywhere, we use more meaningful tags like <header>
, <nav>
, <main>
, <section>
, <article>
, and <footer>
.
These tags help browsers, search engines, and screen readers understand the structure of your webpage better. For example, <header>
tells the browser that it's the top part of the page, and <nav>
means that it's a menu or navigation area.
