Description

Headings provide informative structure to a page and are often navigated by assistive technology users. All headings should be concise and descriptive, otherwise the page information layout can be confusing or create gaps in the understanding of the headings and their purpose. We found a heading that had no text content or accessible name.

How to fix

All headings need to have a label. You can use plain text, or an image with appropriate alt text.
