Description

The <meta> HTML element represents metadata that cannot be represented by other HTML meta-related elements, like <base>, <link>, <script>, <style> or <title>. If the name attribute is set, the <meta> element provides document-level metadata, applying to the whole page.

Settings#

You can set a custom description in the frontmatter of a page:

---
seo:
  description: "" # custom description (recommended)
---

Generated meta tag#

If a custom description is set in the frontmatter of a page, that description is used.

Otherwise, the description set in the frontmatter of a page is used — with a fallback to description set in config/_default/params.toml.

Hyas SEO generates the following meta tag — for example:

<meta name="description" content="Guides lead a user through a specific task they want to accomplish, often with a sequence of steps.">
