    • Post will be updated regularly with new tips!

But first, what is HTML?

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.

Let’s start!

1. The loading=lazy attribute

Performance tip. You can use the loading=lazy attribute to defer the loading of the image until the user scrolls to them.

  Send us an email
</a>

<a href="tel:{phone}">
  Call us
</a>

<a href="sms:{phone}?body={content}">
  Send us a message
</a>

    <input type="radio" id="java" name="language">
    <label for="java">Java</label>

7. Window.opener

Pages opened with target="_blank" allow the new page to access the original’s window.opener. This can have security and performance implications. Include rel="noopener" or rel="noreferrer" to prevent this.
