The footer element in HTML5

The footer element defines footer content for a page or a section of a page.

It typically contains copyright, information about the author, sitemap, links to related documents, of contact information (inside an address tag).

It is usually used for website-wide footer with copyright and navigation or a section-specific footer with references or author information.

Example of a website-wide footer:

(click on the image to open in a new tab)

Example of a section-specific footer

(click on the image to open in a new tab)

It is possible to use <footer> multiple times in one document.

The <footer> element, while not mandatory, provides a clearer structure for the document and is beneficial for SEO.
