Enter the main homepage only, for example https://example.com. Post, page and category URLs are not accepted.
Looking for the XML sitemap…
| # | URL | HTTP | Page Title | H1 Count | H1 Text | H2 | H3 | Status | Recommendation |
|---|
Enter your homepage URL above and click Start Website Audit. The checker finds your XML sitemap, scans up to 500 pages and reports the H1 headings on each one. Filter by Missing H1, Multiple H1 or Errors, then export the results to Excel or CSV.
What Is an H1 Tag?
The H1 is the top-level heading of a page, usually the visible article or page title:
<h1>How to Use Google Search Console to Update Old Content</h1>It tells readers, screen readers and search engines what the page is about. Most WordPress themes output the post title as the H1 automatically.
How to Use the Bulk H1 Checker
- Enter your homepage, for example
https://example.com. - Click Start Website Audit and let it scan your sitemap URLs.
- Open the Missing H1 and Multiple H1 filters.
- Fix the template or the individual posts listed.
- Export the report if you need to share it, then rerun after fixing.
Fixing Common H1 Problems
| Result | Common cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Missing H1 | The theme shows the title in a div or p, or a page builder layout has no heading | Change the title element to H1 in the theme or builder settings |
| Multiple H1 | The logo or site title is an H1 on every page, or the editor added another H1 inside the content | Make the logo a non-heading element and use H2 for sections inside the content |
| H1 does not match the topic | A generic heading such as “Welcome” or “Blog” | Use a descriptive heading that matches the search intent |
| Errors | The page returned an error, redirect or was blocked | Check the URL in a browser and fix server or redirect issues |
Does Google Penalise Multiple H1 Tags?
No. Google has said that several H1s on a page are not a problem for search. A single, clear H1 is still the recommended practice because it gives the page an obvious main topic and a clean structure for screen-reader users who navigate by headings.
Heading Structure Tips
- Use one H1, then H2s for main sections and H3s for subsections.
- Do not skip levels just for styling; change the font size with CSS instead.
- Write headings that make sense on their own, because many readers scan them first.
- Avoid repeating the same keyword in every heading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should the H1 be the same as the SEO title?
They should cover the same topic, but they can be worded differently. Check your title length with our SEO title length checker.
Why does the tool find an H1 that I cannot see?
Some themes include a hidden H1 for accessibility or have one inside a slider or popup. Inspect the page source to find it.
How many pages can I scan?
Up to 500 URLs from your sitemap per audit.
