## One H1 heading

Passing looks like: The page has exactly one H1 heading.

**Why it matters.** One H1 tells search engines and screen readers what the page is about. Several, or none, blur that signal.

**How to fix it.**

1. Keep exactly one <h1> with the page's main topic; make the others <h2>.
2. Check the theme: many put the site name or logo in an <h1> on every page.

## Heading order

Passing looks like: Heading levels follow a logical order.

**Why it matters.** Headings are the page's outline. When it jumps from H1 to H3, screen readers and search engines assume a level of content is missing, and the structure is harder to follow.

**How to fix it.**

1. Use H2 for each main section and H3 for details inside it; never skip a level going down.
2. Pick heading levels by structure and let CSS decide the size. In page builders, change the "HTML tag" of the heading block.
