Hi Ing RAMIREZ,

Metadata means data about data. In a webpage, metadata is information about the page, like the title, description, author, or character set.

In HTML, metadata usually goes inside the <head> and it helps the browser and search engines, even though it does not show as normal page text.

Example:

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="description" content="Learning HTML basics">
</head>
