Checklist
Heading Hierarchy
Page headings follow a logical h1→h2→h3 sequence with no skipped levels.
Platform: webTags: accessibility, headings, structure, seo
Check
Every page has exactly one h1 (the page title). Subsections use h2. Sub-subsections use h3. No levels are skipped (no h1 → h3). Heading levels are not chosen for visual size — use CSS for size, HTML for structure.
Why This Matters
Screen readers navigate by heading hierarchy. A logical heading structure lets users jump to sections without reading everything. Skipped levels confuse navigation and signal poor document structure.

How to Verify
Install HeadingsMap browser extension or run axe. Check that each page has one h1, headings are nested logically, and no visual "heading" is implemented as a bold div instead of an h-tag.
