Headings

Headings Are Important: Search engines use headings to index structure and content of webpages. Users scan webpages by the headings, so use headings to show, at a glance, what it's all about.

Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags, with the most important content inside <h1> tags, while the the least important are done with the <h6> element.
