While headers are generally the first thing a user will see, footers are the last. Footers commonly contain information that is useful but not necessarily the primary focus of the page. They might include elements like contact information, links to privacy policies or terms of use, social media links, copyright notices, and sometimes secondary navigation menus.

Footers play a role in enhancing user experience by offering quick access to supplementary information and resources, without overwhelming the primary content area. They contribute to a sense of closure and completeness to a webpage or screen.
