How it works
- Step 1 — Paste your page HTML (View Source → copy everything, or just your heading tags) into the box.

- Step 3 — Hit Audit Headings and get a grade plus a fix checklist with plain-language fixes.
Everyday uses
- Bloggers & SEOs — check heading hierarchy before publishing every post; missing H1s are one of the most common on-page SEO mistakes.
- Content editors — hand writers a concrete fix list instead of vague “fix your headings” feedback.
- Accessibility audits — skipped levels and empty headings break screen-reader navigation; catch them in seconds.
- Site migrations — paste pages from the old site to make sure heading structure survived the move.
- Competitor research — see how a ranking page structures its headings and model your own outline.
Rule of thumb: one H1 for the page’s main topic, then H2s for main sections and H3s for sub-points — never skip a level, and keep each heading under about 70 characters.
