Tags are another type of built-in taxonomy used to group content in a more detailed and specific way. While categories usually cover broader topics or content types, tags describe content in more detail and assign specific keywords or phrases to them.
Below I summarize the features and functions of the labels:
- Specific characterisation: Labels allow for a more detailed description of the content. For example, if your website is a culinary blog, one category may be ‘Recipes’, but labels may be ‘gluten-free’, ‘vegetarian’, ‘dessert’, etc. Labels help to define and describe the content even more precisely.
- Link content: Labels allow for the collection of related content. For example, if you have multiple entries on ‘summer recipes’, you can label these entries with the same label, such as ‘summer’ or ‘summer food’. This allows visitors to easily find related content.
- Dynamic content display: You can use tags for dynamic content display and customization. WordPress allows you to create lists, pages, or widgets based on labels that are automatically updated when you create new content with that label.
- Search engine optimization: Properly used tags can also promote search engine optimization. Using specific keywords or phrases in your tags can help make your content easier to find for search engines and improve your website's SEO performance.
You can easily add, edit or delete tags in the administration interface. However, it is important to keep the list of tags in order and not use too many or redundant tags to maintain the structure of your content and make your website easy to search.
