The page is missing a clear H1, or it uses more than one primary H1 heading.

Safe public URL scan. Results include technology evidence, SEO checks, security headers, accessibility basics, and a developer fix list.

Recommended fix

Use one visible, task-focused H1 that matches the page intent and supports the title tag.

This guide is designed to pair with a scanner report. Run a URL scan first, then follow the implementation steps.

Developer task

Add one <h1> in the main content area and demote duplicate page-level headings to H2/H3.

Implementation steps

How to apply this fix

  1. Review the current heading outline and find missing or duplicate H1s.
  2. Add a single, visible H1 in the main content that states the page purpose.
  3. Demote extra page-level H1s to H2/H3 so the heading order is logical.
  4. Align the H1 wording with the title tag, then re-scan to confirm one H1 remains.
Verify

Re-run the URL scan after deploying the change to confirm the issue clears and the Themerella Score updates.
