Free Heading Checker
Review every visible heading on one page, see its hierarchy, and get specific fixes for structural, clarity, and topic-alignment issues.
What is Heading?
The Heading Checker evaluates the page's H1-H6 outline, distinguishes visible content from navigation and hidden headings when detectable, and explains issues with concrete markup examples.
Why it matters
Confusing headings make pages harder to understand. Search engines and screen readers rely on structure to understand the content hierarchy.
Common problems
- Missing or unclear primary heading
- Skipped heading levels
- Empty or overly generic headings
- Title and H1 describe different topics
How to fix them
Start with an accurate primary heading, organize sections with consecutive heading levels, and use distinct wording that describes each section's actual content.
Example
Example: two H1s and no H2s → the page structure is unclear and the main topic is harder to identify.
FAQ
How many H1 tags should a page have?
Usually one primary H1 per page. More than one can be valid in some layouts, but it should be intentional and clear.
Does heading structure affect rankings?
It contributes to structure and clarity, but it is only one part of the SEO picture.
Is it free?
Yes.
