Heading Structure Checker (H1–H6)

See your full heading outline and catch skipped levels.

Paste a page's HTML — in your browser: right-click the page → View Page Source, then copy all.

Paste your HTML above to see your heading outline.

Headings are the outline of your page. When they nest properly, readers can skim, screen readers can navigate, and search engines can tell which passage answers which question. This tool renders your full H1–H6 outline from pasted HTML and flags the two problems that break it: skipped levels and empty headings.

How the Heading Structure Checker works

Paste your HTML and the tool extracts every heading in document order, indenting each by its level so the outline is visible at a glance. A skipped level — an H2 followed directly by an H4 — is highlighted, because it implies a missing section and confuses assistive technology. Empty heading tags are flagged too, since they add structure with no meaning.

Example

A page that goes H1 → H2 → H4 → H4.

The checker flags the H2 → H4 jump so you can promote those H4s to H3.

Frequently asked questions

The direct ranking impact is small, but the indirect cost is real: skipped levels usually mean the content is poorly structured, and they degrade accessibility for screen-reader users who navigate by heading. Fixing them tends to improve how well a page communicates its structure to everything reading it.
