Is The Viewport Meta Tag Necessary
Sep 9, 2018 · 1 min read
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />The basic fundamentals of modern web pages are revolved around responsiveness. In the head section of your HTML code, you need to put a viewport meta tag.
<!DOCYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<title> Page Title</title>
<head>
<body></body>
</html>
When viewing a webpage from a desktop this meta tag has little influence over what you see. On a mobile device, the viewport meta tag will refactor the basic layout of the page to be more friendly on smaller devices.
Here is an example of a page without the viewport meta tag:
