Can someone tell me what these 4 lines mean, and should I add them to my pages, I saw it on a few sites recently.




<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta content="IE=edge,chrome=1" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">

Easy to tell you what they are for, i mean even google can do that for you.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <-sets the character set to use for the page

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <- sets the viewport (area of the window showing content) this is needed for responsive sites

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <- sets compatibilty for IE, not needed with modern browsers

<meta content="IE=edge,chrome=1" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"> <- does the same thing as above

As far as how these would impact SEO, I am not sure, how they impact how google looks at stuff, the viewport and the charset are important.

The character set can be shortened to

<meta charset="utf-8">

You'll need the viewport tag but you can dump the rest

I would suggest that you search for 'meta tags html page' for basic information and do some reading. There are many more than the ones you have listed. Usage depends on your page, mainly.

Also search youtube for meta tags and usage.
