Our expert team is currently recording the visual guide for Headings and Content Hierarchy.

The Core Concept

Headings organize your content so both readers and search engines can scan it easily. HTML has six levels of headings: `<h1>` is the most important, and `<h6>` is the least. A good rule of thumb is to use exactly one `<h1>` tag per page for the main topic, and then break sections down using `<h2>` and `<h3>` tags. Never use heading tags just to make text bold or big; use them for outline structure.

Hands-on practice task

Required for Mastery

The Challenge

Create a page outline for an article about 'Healthy Cooking'. Use a main heading, two main sub-sections ('Choosing Ingredients' and 'Cooking Techniques'), and two minor sub-sections under 'Cooking Techniques' ('Baking' and 'Steaming').

Helpful Hints

  • The main title should be an <h1>.
  • Main sub-sections should be <h2> tags.
  • Minor sub-sections under <h2> should be <h3> tags.

Quick Knowledge Check

Can I use headings to style my text?
No. If you want text to be bold or large but it is not a section title, use CSS instead of a heading tag.
Why is heading hierarchy important for SEO?
Search engines read heading tags to understand the outline and main themes of your page.
