Heading Hierarchy

Heading hierarchy is the logical structure of h1-h6 on a page. One h1 per page (title). h2 for main sections. h3 for subsections. Do not skip levels (h1 to h3 without h2 is an error). Screen readers use headings for navigation. 42.7% of pages have skipped heading levels (WebAIM).
