Tool Introduction
"Web Page META Generator" is a powerful online tool designed to help website administrators and developers easily create HTML <meta> tags that comply with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) standards. Through an intuitive form, you can customize various metadata information such as page title (<title>), page description (description), page keywords (keywords), page encoding (charset), robot guide (robots), canonical URL (canonical), and more.
This tool intelligently converts your input into standard HTML <meta> tag code. These tags are an important part of the web page header (<head>) and provide critical information about the web page to browsers and search engines. Properly setting these metadata helps search engines better understand your web page content, improves the visibility and ranking of your website in search results, and ensures accurate display of page information.

<meta> tag code and <title> tag, which you can directly copy and paste into the <head> section of your HTML file.

- A: Copy and paste the generated code inside the
<head> tag of your HTML file. Make sure it's before the <body> tag.
- Q: Which page encoding is better to choose?
- A: For most modern websites, UTF-8 is recommended. It supports character sets worldwide, effectively avoids garbled characters, and is currently the most widely used encoding format.

INDEX,FOLLOW tells search engines to index this page and follow all links on the page; NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW instructs search engines not to index this page and not to follow any links on the page.

Notes
- Ensure that the filled page title, description, and keywords are highly relevant to the actual page content, and avoid keyword stuffing to prevent being penalized by search engines for cheating.
- The page description (
description) should be concise and attractive, with a recommended length of 70-150 characters, so that it can be fully displayed in search engine results and attract users to click.
- Although the weight of the page keywords (
keywords) field has significantly decreased in modern SEO, it is still recommended to fill in a small number of the most core and relevant keywords.
- Once the page encoding (
charset) is determined, it is not recommended to change it frequently to avoid garbled page content.
- Robot guide (
robots) instructions must be set carefully; incorrect configuration may lead to pages not being correctly indexed by search engines or links not being crawled.
- The canonical URL (
canonical) should point to the standard version of the current page, avoiding pointing to other pages or non-existent URLs, which helps avoid duplicate content issues and concentrates page authority.
- This tool only generates META tags; you still need to correctly integrate them into your HTML file for them to take effect.
