Heading Analysis

The Heading Analysis evaluates the structure and organization of headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) on a webpage to ensure they follow best practices for both accessibility and SEO.

Key Metrics:

  • Hierarchical Order: Assesses whether headings are used in a logical, hierarchical sequence.
  • Missing Headings: Identifies missing H1 tags or skipped heading levels, which can confuse both users and search engines.

The depth of the analyzed heading hierarchy is controlled by --max-heading-level, which accepts a value from 1 to 6 (default is 3).

This analysis helps improve the structure and clarity of web content, enhancing user experience and SEO effectiveness.


If you have ideas how to improve heading analysis, donโ€™t be afraid to send a feature request (to desktop application, or to command-line interface) with a suggestion for improvement. We are happy to consider and implement it if it will benefit more users.
