H1 heading

A top-level heading exposes the page topic in the heading map (WCAG 1.3.1).

Pass condition in our engine: At least one H1 exists.

1. Problem description

Visual titles that are not headings cannot be jumped to. This check requires at least one H1.

2. Most common causes

  • Hero text in a <div class=h1>.
  • H1 injected by JS.

3. How to fix it

  1. Use a real <h1> for the page topic.
