time

I. Description

The HTML <time> element should contain date or time information. This can mean just a date, such as April 5th, 2025; or a time, such as 3:15pm; or both such as 2025-APR-05 15:15 UTC. Whenever you have a date or time in a webpage it should be inside of a <time> element.

By using the <time> element you allow search engines to better understand the content of your website.
