On Page Optimization In SEO

On-Page Optimization

The practice of "On-page optimization" is used to improve a website's visibility and positioning in search engine results pages.

On-site optimization is another word frequently used to describe on-page optimization in SEO. On-page elements include content, HTML, meta tags, photos, and internal links. These elements must be optimized in order to do this. Off-page optimization techniques are those applied outside a website. These methods are used to raise a website's visibility and position in search results.

A snippet is a condensed summary of text from a webpage that appears in search engine results. Search engines show snippets, to give users an impression of the webpage before they click on the link. A URL, title, favicon, and meta description combine to create a mobile snippet.

There are two primary sections on a web page: the "head" area and the "body" portion.

• The URL, page title, and meta description are contained in the "head" part of a webpage.

• The actual content of the webpage that users can see is contained in the "body" section.
