How important is it for Web Developers to learn Data Structures and Algorithms?

First of all, sorry if my English is not on point. I'm from Mexico, currently trying to learn web development on my own. I started out with HTML, CSS and now I'm 2 hours into a javascript course. Right after finishing it my initial plan was to learn version control with Github, but I have never taken a course specifically on DSA and I hear a lot about this topic, mostly on how important it is on job interviews. Should I learn about DSA? Is it really  necessary or does it depend whether I want to go into front-end or back-end?

It will be more important for getting past the interview stage than anything else. On the job I've never used much more than arrays, hash tables (javascript objects), and built in functions or libraries.
