HTML Headings & Hierarchy

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

Headings are the skeletal structure of your webpage. They are not just for making text big and bold; they communicate the organization of your content to search engines and assistive technologies.

The H1 Tag

The <h1> tag is the most critical tag on your page. It describes the main topic. Search engines weight the content inside the H1 heavily when determining rankings.

Nesting Levels (h2-h6)

Structure your content like a book outline. Use <h2> for major chapters, and <h3> for subsections within those chapters. Do not skip levels (e.g., jumping from h1 to h3).

This section details the correct usage of heading tags from h1 to h6. It emphasizes that headings should be used for structure, not style. CSS should be used to change font sizes, while HTML should define the hierarchy.
