Inline styles in web development refer to CSS code directly embedded within an HTML element using the "style" attribute, allowing for quick, specific styling changes that override external or internal CSS rules. In the context of WordPress, inline styles can be used to customize individual elements without altering theme files, offering marketers and developers a flexible approach to tailor site appearance for SEO optimization and enhanced user experience. However, excessive reliance on inline styles can lead to code bloat and decreased performance, affecting page load times and SEO rankings.
