Things like this makes us miserable and under confident, we start questioning our own intelligence, we think we are idiot. Relax, we are not her to talk about self-esteem or intelligence. In fact it is not your fault if you ever felt that way.
It is 99.9% of the times the fault of the websites and that why it was important to point, so you don’t the same mistake as the website that made you feel stupid to the point you never wanted to visit them again and never did.
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) Header tags are important, one reason was clearly stated above. Header and sub header basically simplify your content by removing it from them. The code word or the technical term that is used for the header tags are H(followed by the ranking of it).
The heading can be maximum 6 in an article and they are from H1 to H6 with H1 as the most important and H6 as least one. The rule of using so many header tags is simple, you cannot use all of them and leave one from the middle. If you want to use H6, you cannot skip other 5 header tags. The hierarchy should never be broken.
It has been said again and again that dividing your content into smaller readable blocks like paragraphs is important for the convenience of slow readers as well as the Google bots, who need to crawl through your page reading your content.
If you simplify the content by adding heading on top of every different topic, it highlights the main topics that you have covered. The more readable your content becomes, the higher your website will rank in the Search Engine Optimization.
The tags are made to be used for when someone searches for the ‘how to’ and ‘what is’ topics. If the whole content is an answer of a question, the question need to be in the H1 and if it is a step by step guide or tutorial all the steps after the introduction need to be in the H2. Similarly, each header tag has its’ own unique place in simplifying the text.
