      No More Than One H1 Tag

      Easy fix

      <dl>

      <dt>Number of H1s</dt>

      <dd>2</dd>

      <dt>Explanation</dt>

      <dd>Best practices for both SEO and accessibility require only a single H1 tag. The H1 is meant to be the page's headline, and thus, multiple H1s are confusing. Consider employing H2, H3 or CSS styles to achieve the same results with text visualization.</dd>

      <dt>Recommendation</dt>

      <dd>Remove multiple instances of the H1 tag, so that only one exists on the page.</dd>

      <dd>I get this error yet it does not tell me how to fix it. I'm not even sure what the H1 tag is?
      </dd>

      </dl>

            I would not worry about multiple H1 as a major issue .( as long you are not over doing it )

              What is H1?

              Go to the page, right click between the page and click ‘view page source’ on other window will open the code page… on the code page press ‘ctrl+F’ and search ‘

              ’… text between

              and

              is considered to be the tag H1.

              How to fix two H1s?

              I suppose you are using the common HTML… so download the page, open it in the Macromedia Dreamweaver or notepad. And remove the H1 which you think its less important…save and upload the files again.

              Most of the times this hurts the CSS so I would recommend you to consult your designer or developer to do this job for you.
