Heading Structure (H1 to H6)

The hierarchy of heading tags on a page, from the single main H1 down to subheadings.

CrawlerCrawling & Technical SEOAlso known as: H1 tag, Headings

Definition

Headings mark up the outline of a page. The H1 states the main topic, H2s mark major sections and H3 to H6 nest below them.

Common issues are missing H1s, multiple competing H1s, empty headings and skipped levels.

Why It Matters

Clear headings help readers scan, help assistive technology navigate and help search engines and AI systems understand which passage answers which question.

How VisibilityKit Helps

VisibilityKit Crawler audits headings on every page and flags missing or duplicate H1s and other heading problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a page have more than one H1?

It is valid HTML, but one clear H1 is still the simplest signal of the main topic.

Should the H1 match the title tag?

They should agree on the topic. They do not have to be identical.
