HTML stands for **HyperText Markup Language**. It utilizes **tags** to structure various elements within a webpage, including text, images, links, and more.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHTML is essential for formatting webpages, allowing elements to be properly displayed through interconnected **tags**. A well-structured HTML layout enhances website efficiency and significantly benefits SEO performance by making your website more readable and indexable for search engines.\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"wp-image-9019\" src=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/html-css-collage-concept.jpg\" alt=\"HTML\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/html-css-collage-concept.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/html-css-collage-concept-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/html-css-collage-concept-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div> \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Structure_of_HTML\"><\/span>What is the Structure of HTML?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe **structure of HTML** consists of two main components:\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head Section<\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\nThis is located at the top of the document and contains the **Title** of the webpage.

For example, if you want certain text to appear larger or smaller, bold, italicized, or as bullet points, HTML tags are essential.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTypically, HTML tags are enclosed in angle brackets (&lt; &gt;). Most tags come in pairs, consisting of an opening and closing tag. The closing tag includes a forward slash (\/). Some tags, like &lt;img \/&gt; or &lt;br \/&gt;, are **self-closing**.\r\n\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/j60jKZ2UZoH4XwL5IcEUTi86BrGu-QDVfjFyEeQhSQRalsNVyPFzBEjrZxaCbOaXi0eEyNDWYU6AeygRoPwtJYjU1Dkvp2CZWIALfABfancTwdK5DTyQcPioxhTGXywil4xEq-rNsnQ3AuFhnIll7cE\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Commonly_Used_HTML_Tags\"><\/span>Commonly Used HTML Tags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nSeveral HTML tags are frequently used by web developers to structure and enhance website content effectively.
