Heading Structure (H1) Checker

Headings are your page’s table of contents for Google. A missing H1, duplicate H1s, or skipped levels (h1 → h3) muddy the topical signal and cost featured snippets. Test your heading outline in seconds.

One H1 per page

The H1 states the main topic. Zero H1s wastes the signal; multiple H1s dilute it. Put your target keyword in a single, descriptive H1.

Sequential levels

Follow h1 with h2, h2 with h3 — never skip levels. A clean outline helps Google map your content and helps screen-reader users navigate.

Headings win snippets

Well-structured h2/h3 question headings are how pages win featured snippets and "People also ask" placements — free position-zero traffic.
