Description
Certain content on the page was detected as being more appropriate for a heading but is not marked as such. Headings provide important structure to a page, especially for screen readers and keyboard navigation, allowing users to better understand and navigate the content. Proper use of heading elements (e.g., "h1" to "h6") improves navigation and semantic clarity.
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.
