<noscript>: The Noscript element

The <noscript> HTML element defines a section of HTML to be inserted if a script type on the page is unsupported or if scripting is currently turned off in the browser.

Content categories	Metadata content, flow content, phrasing content.
Permitted content	When scripting is disabled and when it is a descendant of the `<head>` element: in any order, zero or more `<link>` elements, zero or more `<style>` elements, and zero or more `<meta>` elements. When scripting is disabled and when it isn't a descendant of the `<head>` element: any transparent content, but no `<noscript>` element must be among its descendants. Otherwise: flow content or phrasing content.
Tag omission	None, both the starting and ending tag are mandatory.
