H1 : Multiple
❓ What does it mean?
❓ What does it mean?
An H1 tag represents the main heading of a web page. Ideally, a page should have only one H1 that defines its primary topic.
When a page has multiple H1 tags, it confuses both:
Search engines → Which heading is the actual focus?
Users → Which content is most important?
🚨 Why is it important for SEO?
🚨 Why is it bad for SEO & Performance?
Dilutes Relevance
Having multiple H1s (e.g., “Buy Shoes Online” and “Latest Fashion Trends”) makes it unclear what the page is really about.
Accessibility Issues
Screen readers rely on heading hierarchy. Multiple H1s can mislead visually impaired users.
Duplicate Intent
Google may interpret the page as covering multiple topics → weaker ranking for the main keyword.
Crawl & Indexing Confusion
Crawlers might not understand the primary subject, which can hurt ranking signals.
✅ How to Fix It
✅ Best Practices
Use only one H1 tag per page.
Place the primary keyword/topic in the H1.
Use H2, H3, H4 for subheadings to structure content hierarchy.
❌ Bad Example
📌 Example

<h1>Buy Shoes Online - Best Prices & Latest Styles</h1>
