H1 tag missing or duplicated
The page has no H1 tag, or has multiple. A well-structured page must contain exactly one H1 tag describing its main topic.
Why it matters
The H1 indicates the main topic of the page to search engines. Its absence or duplication sends a confusing signal that can harm ranking.
How to fix
- 1
In the WordPress editor (Gutenberg)
The first "Heading" block at H1 level serves as H1. Make sure only one heading block is set to H1. Also verify that the page title (top field) is not duplicated in the content.
- 2
Check if the theme generates an automatic H1
Some themes display the page title in an H1 outside the editor. Inspect the page HTML to identify the H1 source (or its absence).
- 3
Fix via child theme
html<!-- Dans le template header.php ou singular.php --> <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
