What is Boilerplate Content?
Boilerplate content refers to sections of a website that are repeated across multiple pages. π₯οΈ
These include:
- π Headers
- π Navigation menus
- π Legal disclaimers
- π» Footers
While repetitive, this type of content isnβt considered harmful duplicate content. β Instead, it plays a crucial role in enhancing website functionality and improving the user experience. π
Example:
Imagine you're reading a book. The title of the book and the author's name appear on every page, right? π That's similar to boilerplate content on a website.
Boilerplate content includes:
- π The website's name
- π A menu with links to different sections
- π© A footer with contact information or legal details
Just like the book title and author's name help you stay oriented while reading, boilerplate content helps users navigate a website and understand where they are. π§
