This is a meta-tag commonly used in responsive web-design. Meta-tags are located in the < head > section of the page. In this example it sets the pixel-width of the page to be the same as the pixel-width of the device it is viewed on, aswell as setting the starting zoom-level to default. This is important because in responsive web-design you often want to display content based on the device width.

Commonly used properties for this meta-tag are:

width=
height=
initial-scale=
maximum-scale=
minimum-scale=
user-scalable=
