H1 on the page
A page without any H1 has no explicit top-level heading in the outline.
Pass condition in our engine: At least one H1 is present.
1. Problem description
Some landing pages style a huge <div> as a title and skip headings entirely. Assistive technology then has no heading navigation, and snippet generation is weaker. This check only asks whether an H1 exists — see Single H1 for duplicates.
2. Most common causes
- Visual heading is a styled paragraph or background image text.
- The title is injected only via JavaScript.
- An empty H1 was left in the template.
3. How to fix it
- Add one H1 in the server-rendered HTML.
- Do not hide the only H1 with display:none if it is the real title.
- Keep heading text in the document, not only in an image.
