Headings aren’t just visual styling — they’re the outline screen-reader users (and search engines) use to understand and navigate your page.
Use a single H1 for the page’s main topic, then H2 for sections and H3 for subsections. Don’t skip from H2 to H4 — it breaks the outline assistive tech builds.
Large bold text that isn’t a real heading element gives screen readers nothing to navigate by. Use actual heading tags and style them with CSS.
The same clean heading structure that helps assistive tech also helps search engines understand your content — accessibility and SEO reinforce each other.
