Heading Structure Analyzer

Headings label sections and make a page easier to scan. Assistive technologies can also use them for in-page navigation. A logical hierarchy helps people understand how sections relate; this report does not treat any single heading pattern as proof of a search-ranking or accessibility failure.

One clear, page-specific H1 is a useful convention and is generally recommended. HTML can allow multiple H1 elements in some structures, so an extra H1 is a prompt to inspect the page rather than an automatic failure. The main content heading should remain unambiguous.

A rank jump occurs when a heading opens a subsection more than one level below the preceding heading, such as H1 followed by H3. These jumps can make the outline harder to follow. A lower-numbered heading that closes a subsection can be valid, so review each result in page context.

Your first agent scan can be run without signing up. Page coverage depends on the account and plan, and crawl time varies by site. The report flags captured pages with missing H1s, multiple H1s, or skipped heading levels.

This scan cannot determine how an H1 affects a page's rankings. Search systems may use visible headings to understand and present a page, but relevance depends on the page as a whole. Use the finding to check whether the visible main heading clearly describes the page for visitors.

Browser DevTools is useful for inspecting one rendered page at a time. This analyzer summarizes the heading data returned by a multi-page crawl and applies a consistent heuristic score. Pages that require sign-in, block the crawler, or add headings after the captured render may need separate manual testing.
