HTML elements that provide metadata about a page to browsers and search engines, including titles, descriptions, and social sharing information. Proper meta tags improve SEO and control how pages appear when shared on social media. Framer provides fields for essential meta tags in page settings.

  • Alt Text

    Accessibility

    Descriptive text added to images that screen readers and search engines use to understand image content. Good alt text describes content and purpose, not just its appearance — “Team celebrating product launch” is better than “people in office.” Framer lets you add alt text directly in the image properties panel. See How to add Alt Tags to images.

  • Canonical URL

    SEO

    An HTML element that tells search engines which URL is the ‘official’ version of a page when duplicate content exists at multiple addresses. This prevents SEO dilution from copied content, URL parameters, or www/non-www variations. Framer automatically generates canonical tags, and you can customize them in page settings for specific SEO requirements. See Setting up a custom canonical URL in Framer.

  • HTML

    General
