Answer from AI

<head> contains metadata about the HTML document that is not displayed directly to the user.

Key elements inside <head>:

<title>: Defines the page title, displayed in the browser tab.
<meta>: Provides metadata such as character encoding (charset), description (description), keywords (keywords), author (author), and viewport (viewport).
<link>: Links to external resources like CSS stylesheets (rel="stylesheet").
<script>: Embeds or links to JavaScript scripts. Note: Scripts are often moved to the end of <body> to improve load speed.
<style>: Embeds CSS styles directly into the document.
<base>: Specifies the base URL for all relative links on the page.
