Heading Tag Analyzer

Visualize your H1-H6 structure to ensure your content is semantically correct and SEO-friendly. Proper heading hierarchy improves accessibility and helps search engines understand your content.

Analyze Headings

What Are Heading Tags?

Heading tags (H1–H6) define the hierarchical structure of your content, similar to a book's table of contents. They help both users and search engines understand the organization and key topics of your page.

  • H1: The main title of the page. Should be unique and contain your primary keyword. Use only one per page.
  • H2: Major section headers that divide the page into key topics.
  • H3–H6: Sub-sections within H2 sections, creating a nested hierarchy for detailed content.

Why Heading Structure Matters

Search engines use heading tags to understand the topical hierarchy of your content. A well-structured heading tree helps Google identify sub-topics and rank your page for related queries.

Pages with a proper H1 → H2 → H3 hierarchy rank on average 15% higher for long-tail keywords compared to pages with flat or broken heading structures.
Content Hierarchy
A clear heading structure helps search engines understand your content outline and identify sub-topics.
Accessibility
Screen readers use heading tags to navigate pages. Proper hierarchy ensures your site is accessible to all users.

Best Practices

Follow these rules for optimal heading structure:

  • Use exactly one H1 per page — it should clearly describe the page's main topic.
  • Don't skip heading levels — don't jump from H2 to H4 just for styling. Use CSS for visual sizing.
  • Include keywords naturally — place target keywords in H1 and H2 tags where they fit naturally.
  • Keep H1 as the first heading — no other heading tag should appear before the H1 in your content.

How to Use This Tool

Enter any URL and click "Check". We'll extract all heading tags (H1–H6), check for H1 count issues, detect skipped levels, and visualize the complete heading tree with proper indentation so you can spot structural problems at a glance.
