Missing H1 tags

An H1 tag is the biggest and first header tag on a page. It denotes the title of a page, whether it’s a blog post or landing page. You’ll find this in HTML code enclosed in

tags. Suffice to say, the H1 stands out. When H1 is missing, it means that the page’s HTML file does not contain the header 1 tag. It could also mean that there is no text between the tags.
