Exactly one H1
One of 40 checks the scanner runs. This one is worth 3 points inside the Semantic Structure dimension, which carries 8% of the total score.
What does this check look at?
The page contains exactly one non-empty <h1>. Zero or several is a partial or failed result.
How do I fix it?
- Add a single H1 that states what the page is about.
- Partial pass: Keep one H1 per page; demote the rest to H2.
Why is it worth 3 points?
Points are relative weights inside a dimension, and a dimension's weight decides how much of the total it can move. The reasoning for this dimension's weight is published rather than asserted:
| Dimension | Semantic Structure — 8% of the total score |
| Points for this check | 3 of 8 in this dimension |
| Worth at most | 3.0 of the 100 points |
Moderate. Mostly a one-time fix.
What else is measured in this dimension?
- Semantic landmarks are used — 3 points
- Main content is in the HTML — 2 points
How do I see my own result?
Run a scan on your own domain. The report lists every failed check with the evidence that produced it, so you can tell a real failure from a check that does not apply.
