Multiple H1s

Multiple H1s blur the page's primary topic and muddy its outline.

What it is

This check flags pages with more than one <h1> element.

Why it matters for SEO

Competing top-level headings weaken topical focus and make the structure harder to interpret for assistive tech and crawlers.

Example

<h1>Section A</h1>
...
<h1>Section B</h1>

How to fix

  1. Keep a single <h1> for the main topic.
  2. Demote the others to <h2>/<h3>.
  3. Ensure the H1 matches page intent.
  4. Re-crawl to confirm one H1 per page.
