many h1

info many-h1 Titles, descriptions and headings

More than one H1 leaves the page's subject ambiguous. Usually it means a template heading and a content heading were both promoted.

What indexgap reports

The finding reads:

info  many-h1  … H1 headings on the page, one is needed

How to fix it

Keep one H1 and demote the rest to H2.

How it behaves at scale

Collapsed when it fires template-wide. If it appears on 90% or more of the pages — or of one language version — of a site with at least 20 pages, it is a property of the template and is reported once, with the count, instead of once per page.

Suppressed on JavaScript shells. A page with no text in its source HTML would trip this check for a reason that is already reported as js-shell, and repeating it four times is not four times as informative.

Finding it

pipx install indexgap
cd your-project
indexgap init
indexgap check
