Headings Are Important


Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

Users often skim a page by its headings. It is important to use headings to show the
document structure.

<h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> headings, then the
less important <h3> , and so on.

Note: Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or
bold.
