I’d like to know where the idea of having 1 H1 tag comes from.
Can you provide a link to the W3C spec that outlines this?

A lot of comments could do the same. Who says it makes no sense to have an H1 contain an anchor?

Great to see this – it is a particular bugbear of mine to see h1 used to surround a company name in the header area of sites, or featuring on a page with an anchor tag associated with it. Semantically it makes no sense for an H1 tag to be anchor text too!

[...] homepage, and an h4 on all subsequent pages. Which in itself is a comprimise, but does break the semantics of the page, because on subsequent pages, the h4 appears before the h1. If you do not have a [...]

“It explains what the web page is about”

not at all. that’s what the title-element is about.

” tag should therefore be used only once on each web page to avoid confusion.”
acutally, you are the one who’s confused. semantically, there’s absolutly no reason to use it only once.

and btw., speaking of semantics, the correct title for this page would be: “h1, h2 … h3 HTML elements.”

kind regards.

In a sidebar, semantically should one start header HTML tags off at H1 or could one start at H3-H6?…

Not so. The H1 is considered the top level element of an outline. It is intended to best describe the entire page. So the following code is perfectly acceptable: My page is about Quora Quora Contains Topics Questions are Children of Topics Users are se…

@Kern
The h2, h3, etc. tags are intended for nesting of headings — i.e. sub-headings and sub-sub-headings, much like in a technical paper. Hence, multiple h2 (etc) tags are ok. This h1 tag is special in this respect. It can be thought of as the ‘top-level’ heading for that page.

Woops! – I have spent the last couple of months building and promoting my Dog Walking site.
All was going well untill I did used an HTML Meta Analyzer. No H1 or H2 tags found.
I will now add both heading Tags to all my pages using an external css to maintain the design integrity.

Without resources like this page web developement and basic SEO would be very difficult for people like myself, thanks so much.
