What is the difference between is_home() and is_front_page()?

is_front_page() checks the front page of the site: it can be the latest posts page or a static page, as set in Settings > Reading.

is_home() checks the blog posts page, where the latest posts are listed.

Reading setting	is_front_page()	is_home()
Your latest posts	true on the home page	true on the home page
A static page for the front, and another for the posts	true on the static front page	true on the posts page only

So when you show the latest posts on the front, both are true. After you set a static front page, they are different. See Conditional Tags.
