My name is Nasiha and I have a wordpress blog and one issue that bothers me, In my post edit section, there are h1, h2 headings but when I check online, every site checker for headings shows that my blog doesn’t have h1, h2, h3, in fact,
h1- 0
h2- media, science, fun…
h2 shows that are my site categories instead to be my page subtitles,
I don’t understand this, some people say its better to add it in every single page and others say that h1 should be just one in homepage keyword what is site about.
That check only checks one page, not the whole site.
Running the check on the homepage shows no h1 there.
Running that check on an article gives this result.
Placing the h1 for a homepage can be something of a dilemma. An obvious choice would be the logo in your header, but the theme/template may make that the same for all pages, but for the articles, the article title should be the h1 IMO, so that may not be best.
I notice that your homepage has the title tag:-
erMagazin | The wirdest stories of the world
Maybe the title “The weirdest stories of the world” could be added at the top of the homepage as the h1 as that describes what the site is about.
Note, I corrected the English spelling of “weirdest”.
Oh, thanks for mention that so I can correct it, I put just World Stories (to not tae much space) but it changes my static page check out http://en.ermagazin.com/ I have in front page recommended content that not had before, In a blogger, we had an option to hide h1 with logo and still it’s visible to search engine, I am not sure about wordpress, because this 'World Stories can’t make beautiful right? that’s why people put logo…
The logo you had, should be readable because it had the alt attribute set to represent the text in the logo. It is important to always complete the alt attribute in images, especially where the image represents some text, as in a logo.
My suggestion in the previous post was to add the h1 in addition to the header/logo on the homepage only. The reason being that the header is duplicated on all pages, when not all pages need the h1 added.
You are using the gadgetine WordPress theme, right? It is usually inadvisable to directly change the code of a ready-made theme, because every time the theme is updated, your changes will disappear and you will have to redo them. The best way would be to make a child theme and do the changes there.
Having said that, if you are willing to fix things every time you update your theme, then you can go into the code through the Editor in the “Appearance” section of the dashboard and add the <h1> element directly to the header.php file. Let us know if you want further help with that.
