Expanded meta keywords, added favicon, and improved SEO with additional meta tags and structured data (TechArticle, FAQ, BreadcrumbList). Refactored HTML for better accessibility and semantic structure by using <section> and <header> elements, adding ARIA attributes, and updating headings. These changes improve search engine visibility, accessibility, and user experience.
