HTML Semantics That Improve Accessibility and SEO

Prefer meaning over divs

Use header, nav, main, article, section, aside, and footer to describe structure. Screen readers and search engines understand these landmarks far better than nested generic containers.

One h1 per page, descriptive link text, alt text on images, and labels bound to form inputs. These habits raise accessibility scores and usually help SEO at the same time.
