What is Header Tags?

Each page should have exactly one H1 tag that represents the main topic or primary keyword. While search engines can handle multiple H1 tags, best practice is one H1 per page to clearly signal the primary subject to both search engines and users.

Header Tags are a ranking factor, but not the most important one. They help search engines understand page content and relevance. Proper Header Tag structure combined with quality content, backlinks, and technical SEO creates better overall ranking potential than Header Tags alone.

While technically possible, skipping heading levels breaks semantic structure and confuses screen readers and search engines. Best practice is to maintain logical hierarchy: H1, then H2, then H3, without skipping levels. This ensures proper content organization and accessibility compliance.
