Heading Tags
Heading Tags
In HTML, heading tags ranging from <h1>
to <h6>
are used to define the structure and layout of text on a web page. These tags help create a hierarchical organization of content, making it easier for both users and search engines to understand the page's content.
The <h1>
tag is generally used for the main title and is the largest and most prominent, while <h2>
to <h6>
tags are used for subheadings, further subheadings and so on... Proper use of heading tags not only improves the readability of a web page but also optimizes it for search engine ranking in Google
<h1> Tag: First-Level Heading
The <h1> tag defines the first-level heading and is typically the largest and boldest among all the heading tags. It is often used for the main title of the page.
<h2> Tag: Second-Level Heading
The <h2> tag is used for second-level headings and is slightly smaller than the <h1> tag. This is commonly used for section titles.
<h3> Tag: Third-Level Heading
The <h3> tag is used for third-level headings. These are smaller than <h2> tags and are often used for sub-sections within an <h2> section.
<h4> Tag: Fourth-Level Heading
The <h4> tag defines a fourth-level heading, which is smaller than the <h3> tag. It's often used for sub-sections within an <h3> section.
<h5> Tag: Fifth-Level Heading
The <h5> tag is used for fifth-level headings and is smaller than <h4> tags. These are rarely used but can be helpful for deeply nested sections.
<h6> Tag: Sixth-Level Heading
The <h6> tag defines the sixth-level heading and is the smallest among all the heading tags. It's rarely used but can serve specific formatting needs.
