HTML Semantics are html elements that covey meaning to the web browser as well as the developer. It clearly describes it’s meaning in a human and machine readable way.

Non semantics elements are elements that don’t tell anything about the content they contain, they simply don’t have meaning and are used generally with attributes to convey the meaning of their contents.

Why HTML semantics?

· One of the reasons why we should follow semantic HTML is because it gives structure thereby allowing browser and search engine to interpret content of the HTML.

· It helps in improving the webpage Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

· It also helps in providing meaning (additional information with the desire to communicate) to the webpage rather than just presentation.
