Common symptoms
- Page has no H1
- Multiple major headings compete for page purpose
- Heading levels skip unpredictably
- Visual text is not marked up as a heading
Missing H1 or Heading Structure Problems? Review Page Hierarchy
Headings help people and assistive technology understand page structure. Genesis can count H1 elements in public HTML, but heading quality and hierarchy still require contextual review rather than an automatic one-H1-is-perfect rule.
Possible causes
- Design text used instead of semantic headings
- Reusable template duplication
- CMS editor misuse
- Component heading level hard-coded incorrectly
Diagnose the exact failure before choosing a repair.
Genesis separates the visible symptom from the underlying technical cause. Run the supported diagnostic first, review the evidence, and then use a matching repair only when the failure is actually verified.
