Header Tags
HTML headings (H1 to H6) that organise your page content into a clear, scannable structure for readers and search engines.
Header tags are the HTML headings labelled H1 through H6 that break your content into sections. The H1 is the main heading of the page, while H2s and H3s act like subheadings and sub-subheadings, the same way chapters and sections work in a book.
Good heading structure helps people skim your page and helps search engines understand what each section covers. As a rule of thumb, use one H1 per page, work down the levels in order, and include relevant keywords in your headings where it reads naturally.
