Catch missing H-tags
before you ship

Compare heading structures between your old and new pages — so devs and SEO teams ship with confidence.

Why Heading Structure Matters for SEO

Heading tags (H1-H6) create a document outline that helps search engines understand your content hierarchy. Google uses headings to identify primary topics (H1), major sections (H2), and supporting details (H3-H6). Proper heading structure can improve rankings by 10-30% because it signals topical organization, influences featured snippet extraction, and improves user experience metrics like time on page and engagement.

During site migrations, heading structure often breaks in subtle ways. Component-based frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js) can accidentally create multiple H1 tags when header and page components both render H1s. Page builders that used CSS classes instead of semantic tags can lose heading hierarchy entirely when migrating to headless CMS. These issues confuse search engines about your page's primary topic and can significantly hurt rankings.

Common migration mistakes include multiple H1 tags (dilutes topical focus), skipped heading levels like H2 to H4 without H3 (breaks document outline logic), missing H1 entirely (search engines can't identify primary topic), or significantly changed heading text that shifts topical signals. This tool compares heading structure before and after migration to catch these issues before launch.

How to Use This Tool

1

Enter Your URL(s)

For single page analysis, enter one URL to extract its heading structure. For migration comparison, enter your old URL (before rebuild) and new URL (after migration). The tool will crawl both pages and extract all heading tags (H1-H6) in the order they appear.

2

Review Heading Hierarchy

See a visual representation of your heading structure. The tool displays each heading tag with its level, text content, and position in the page. Hierarchy violations (like H1 to H3 skipping H2) are highlighted automatically.

3

Identify Issues

The tool flags common problems: multiple H1 tags (should only have one), skipped heading levels (H2 to H4 without H3), missing H1 entirely, or significantly different heading text between old and new pages. Each issue includes an explanation of why it matters for SEO.

4

Compare Side-by-Side

When comparing two URLs, differences are shown with visual indicators. Missing headings appear in red, changed heading text is highlighted, and structural changes (like different hierarchy depth) are called out. Fix issues before launch to maintain SEO performance.
