TIPS FROM COPILOT
- Semantic HTML: Use semantic tags like "article", "section", "nav", and "aside" to improve SEO and accessibility. This also makes your code more readable and maintainable.
- Data Attributes: Utilize custom "data-*" attributes for storing extra information that doesn't have any visual representation but can be used by scripts.
- Accessible Forms: Ensure your forms are accessible by using proper labels, fieldsets, and legends. Also, consider adding ARIA roles where necessary.
- Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images and iframes with the `loading="lazy"` attribute to improve page load times.
- Template Tags: Use the "template" tag to hold content that you can instantiate and render on the page via JavaScript.
- Microdata: Add microdata to your HTML to help search engines understand the content and context of your pages better.
- Avoid Inline Styles: Keep your presentation separate from your content by avoiding inline styles. This promotes a cleaner separation of concerns.
- Use of Figure and Figcaption: For images with captions, use the "figure" and "figcaption" elements to associate the text directly with the image.
- Minimize Divs: Don't overuse "div" elements. Instead, try to use more descriptive HTML5 elements to structure your content.
- HTML Validation: Regularly run your HTML through a validator to catch errors and ensure that your markup is up to standard.
