LeonLatex Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 As I heard many years ago, <meta name = "keywords" content = "php, mysql, etc"> is limited to 60 characters and letters (included space). IS this something that is still true? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/314964-meta-tag-keywords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I don't think that tag is even relevant anymore. Search engines scan the actual content of the page for keywords rather than use whatever list you want to give them.

cyberRobot Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Here's some more information about why it's not really used anymore:https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag As for the limit, I'm not seeing anything here:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta/name Perhaps search engines imposed their own limits to avoid keyword stuffing.
