Multiple H1 Tags on One Page
Multiple H1s dilute the topical signal. Here's how to consolidate to one.
What it means
The page contains more than one <h1> heading. Often a template issue.
Why it matters
Multiple H1s confuse the topical hierarchy. One clear H1 is a stronger signal than three competing ones.
How to fix it
- Pick the most important heading and keep it as H1.
- Demote others to H2 (or H3 if they're sub-sections).
- Update your template if this is sitewide.
