Heading Tags Checker

List every H1 to H6 on a page in order and spot structural issues.

What does this heading checker do?

It pulls every H1 to H6 heading from any URL and shows them in document order. You see the count of each level, plus a hierarchical view of the actual heading text. Use it to spot duplicate H1s, missing H2s, and heading levels that jump around without structure.

Why is heading structure important?

Headings outline your page. Search engines use them to understand topic flow, and accessibility tools use them so screen readers can navigate. A clean heading tree makes content easier to read for humans and easier to parse for crawlers, which leads to better rankings on long form content.

How do you use this tool?

  1. Paste the URL of the page you want to inspect.
  2. Click Check headings.
  3. Review the count grid and the heading list. Fix any issues you spot.

When does heading structure go wrong?

The two most common issues are multiple H1 tags from theme widgets, and skipping levels like jumping from H2 straight to H4. Both confuse crawlers and accessibility tools. Fix them by adjusting your template or your content editor settings.

Got more questions?

How many H1 tags should a page have?
Exactly one. The H1 should match the page topic clearly. Use H2 for major sections and H3 for sub sections.
Can keywords in headings help SEO?
Yes when used naturally. Stuffing keywords into every heading hurts more than it helps.
Are H4 to H6 even useful?
Yes for very long content with deep structure. For most pages H1 to H3 is enough.
Will Google reward better heading structure?
Indirectly yes. Cleaner structure means better content quality signals and better user engagement, both of which help rankings.
