Meta data in includes: not ideal or a problem?
-
I have pages with meta data being pulled in via an include. This was to prevent people from touching the pages themselves. Is this an optimization issue- or is it OK to do?
-
Just to elaborate on Daylans (totally correct) answer: Any server-side include will be fine, whether its .net, asp or php.
-
PHP includes are serverside so from a visitor and search engine perspective will render fine to be indexed as if it was straight up HTML.
