Missing H1 heading

What this check looks for

Checks whether the page contains at least one <h1> element with visible text.

Why it matters

The H1 is the main on-page headline and helps both users and search engines understand what the page is about at a glance. Pages with no H1 miss a clear topical signal and often signal a broken template or CSS-styled text used in place of real headings. Each page should have one descriptive H1 that reflects the primary topic.

How to fix it
