Page has no main heading (H1) on WordPress
What this is
The page has no level-one heading, so there is no clear statement of what the page is about for people navigating by headings.
Who it affects
- Screen reader users
- People with cognitive disabilities
Standards
How to fix it
- Add one `<h1>` that names the page, near the top of the main content.
On WordPress
In the editor select the Heading block and change its level in the toolbar. Choose levels by structure, not by size; style size with the typography settings.
