Love this project, thank you.

A note about the 'IE compatibility mode' section. It's a great idea to include it, however, in order for this tag to work as you expect, it needs to come before all other elements in the <head> excluding the <title> and other <meta> elements. Unfortunately, the location of the tag totally changes the behavior.

"The X-UA-Compatible header isn't case sensitive; however, it must appear in the header of the webpage (the HEAD section) before all other elements except for the title element and other meta elements."
— MSDN Specifying legacy document modes

There's a mention of this in the comments of the Stack Overflow article linked in your description but it's pretty buried. Seems like information that could be good to present up front. Let me know what you think. I could add a pull request with a change if you think it's useful here.

To be technical, the charset should also be sent across in the header of the webpage.
