H1 Checker
Check HTML for H1 headings and quickly see how many H1 tags are present on a page.
What Is an H1 Tag?
An H1 tag is an HTML heading that typically describes the main topic of a webpage. It helps visitors and search engines understand what the page is about.
How to Use the H1 Checker
- Copy the HTML source of the page you want to check.
- Paste the HTML into the checker box above.
- Review the H1 count, the status, and the list of H1 text found on the page.
For SEO, a page should generally have a clear and descriptive primary heading. However, the ideal heading structure can vary depending on the page and its content.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check the H1 tags on my page?
Paste your page's HTML into the checker. It counts the H1 tags, shows a status, and lists the text of each H1 found.
Can I check a page by entering its URL?
No. This tool works with pasted HTML only. To check a live page, view its page source in your browser, copy the HTML, and paste it here.
Does this tool check H2 or other heading tags?
No. The checker only detects H1 tags; H2 through H6 headings are not analyzed.
How many H1 tags should a page have?
The common recommendation is one clear, descriptive H1 per page. This tool flags pages with no H1 or with multiple H1s so you can review them.
What does "(Empty H1)" mean in the results?
An H1 tag was found but it contains no text. Empty H1s don't help visitors or search engines, so add descriptive text to the tag or remove it.
