How to use header tags (H1–H6) correctly

Header tags (H1 through H6) define the structure of your content — the headings and subheadings. Used correctly, they make pages easy to scan for readers and easy to understand for search engines and screen readers.

The rules

• •One H1 per page — the main title.
• •Use H2s for main sections, H3s for sub-points.
• •Don't skip levels (H1 straight to H3) or use them just for size.
• •Make headings descriptive of what follows.

Structure helps everyone

A logical heading hierarchy helps skimmers navigate, screen-reader users understand the page, and search engines grasp your content. It's a small habit with real SEO and accessibility payoff.
