Frequently Asked Questions
Why is heading structure important for SEO?
Search engines use heading tags to understand the structure and hierarchy of your content. A well-organized heading structure helps search engines determine what your page is about and can improve your rankings.
Should I have only one H1 tag?
Yes, best practice is to have exactly one H1 tag per page. The H1 should represent the main topic of the page. Multiple H1 tags can confuse search engines about your page's primary focus.
What does "skipped heading level" mean?
Skipping heading levels means going from H1 directly to H3, or H2 to H4, without the intermediate level. This creates a broken hierarchy that can affect both SEO and accessibility. Always use heading levels sequentially.
How do I get the HTML of a web page?
Right-click on any web page and select "View Page Source" or press Ctrl+U (Cmd+U on Mac). You can then copy the entire HTML source and paste it into this tool for analysis.
