About HEAD

HEAD is a GitHub repository that acts as a reference guide to HTML elements. It explains what each element does and provides commented example markup, beginning with the recommended minimum set (character encoding, viewport settings and a document title) and a recommended order for head tags to support correct rendering and performance.

Coverage runs across meta, link, script, icon, social and structured-data tags, including Open Graph, Schema.org, Google JSON-LD, Pinterest, OEmbed, QQ/WeChat, Dublin Core and Fediverse markup, plus platform notes for Apple iOS, Google Android, Google Chrome and several Chinese mobile browsers. The repository also lists deprecated head elements, related projects and translations. Pricing is not stated.

HEAD FAQ

In what order should head elements appear?
The guide recommends charset, viewport, title, other meta tags, Open Graph and social tags, canonical and other link tags, resource hints such as preconnect and dns-prefetch, stylesheets, icons, then scripts using defer or async where possible.
Does the guide cover platform-specific or non-English browser tags?
Yes. It includes sections for Apple iOS, Google Android, Google Chrome and Chinese browsers including 360 Browser, QQ Mobile Browser and UC Mobile Browser, along with App Links.
