Description

The content on the page is not properly structured using a logical hierarchy of headings (e.g., 'h1' to 'h6'). Proper heading structure helps users to understand and navigate the content more easily. Ensure that the heading hierarchy is ordered and follows a natural reading sequence.

How to fix

Ensure the content is structured using proper heading tags (<h1> to <h6>) in a logical order. For example: <h1>Main Title</h1><h2>Subheading 1</h2><p>Content under subheading 1.</p><h2>Subheading 2</h2><p>Content under subheading 2.</p>. This creates a clear hierarchy, improving readability and navigation for users.
