Heading Hierarchy

Clear heading structure is essential for readability, organization, and accessibility. Headings create a logical outline of the page, helping all users quickly scan content and understand how information is structured.

For users who rely on screen readers, headings are especially important. Assistive technologies use heading levels (H1–H6) to navigate a page efficiently—similar to how sighted users visually scan bold section titles.

Why Heading Order Matters

  • Improves accessibility by providing a logical content structure
  • Enhances usability for users scanning the page
  • Supports SEO by clearly defining content sections
  • Reduces cognitive load through organized information

Best Practices

  • Use one H1 per page for the primary title
  • Follow headings in sequential order (H2 → H3 → H4)
  • Do not skip levels (e.g., H2 directly to H4)
  • Avoid using headings simply to make text appear larger
  • Keep headings concise and descriptive

When used correctly, heading hierarchy improves clarity for all users and ensures content meets accessibility standards.

Heading Level 1 (H1)

57px / Used once per page for the primary page title, the H1 defines the main topic and should clearly reflect the purpose of the page. In this WordPress theme, the page title is automatically styled as the H1 by default.

Heading Level 2 (H2)

40px / H2 headings are used to organize the main sections of your content, creating clear, high-level categories. Start with H2 in the content area, since the page title is automatically an H1. Avoid using H1 within the content itself.

Heading Level 3 (H3)

30px / Used for subsections within an H2 section. H3s help group related ideas and support scannability.

Heading Level 4 (H4)

26px / Used for supporting structure beneath H3s. Helpful for detailed breakdowns or layered content.

Heading Level 5 (H5)

22px / Used sparingly for deeper sub-sections when content requires additional structure.

Heading Level 6 (H6)

17px / Reserved for highly detailed or specialized content. Rarely needed on most standard web pages.

Headings should always follow a logical, sequential order (H1 → H2 → H3) to ensure clarity, accessibility, and proper document structure.
