Headings

All webpages must be hierarchically organized.

Screen readers often use a shortcut allowing users to view a list of all headings found on the page. The screen reader uses the heading code (H1-H6) to create this list. Some users also tab through the headings of a page. Heading codes used in the correct order will give an accurate "picture" of what is on the webpage. (Siteimprove, 2021)
