ComboStrap Page Metadata - Description

The description is a summary of what the page is about.

A page's description might be a sentence or two or even a short paragraph (whereas a page's title may be a few words or a phrase).

It's a page metadata that:

• is displayed:
  • in social cards (twitter, facebook, Google Rich Result)
  • in the Search Engine Results Page.
  • in the link default popup or the link preview tooltip. (Example for this page, hovering over this link will show you the description of this page in a tooltip)
• used in text-to-speech (TTS) (thanks to Speakable)

You can modify the description by adding a description property in the frontmatter.

{
    "description":"Would you want to  modify your meta description to rank better on the SERP page ? This is how you do it."
}

Search Engine Result Pages (SERP) are the pages that are shown when you query Search Engine such as Google.

The description may show up below the title.
