[SOLVED] H1 heading tag

Hello,

Today I started to use WonderCMS in order to find out if I can migrate a private blog and some webpages.

So far, so good.

Using a heading tag checker, it tells me the H1 doesn't have a value. I expected the H1 to be the website title by default.

Do I have to use the H1-tag on every page? Or is there an other way round?

Thanks in advance.

I simply don't use the H1 tag. There are just too many gotchas with it. Your ranking can take a hit if H1 is:
  • omitted
  • hidden
    by any of several methods,
    all considered black hat
  • placed in <footer>
    which often makes sense,
    but is considered bad form
  • exactly equal to <title>
  • too dissimilar from <title>
Personally, I wish there was a way to tell SEO to just treat H1 like any other H# tag, instead of all these arbitrary rules.

So, meanwhile, I take the small hit and omit H1.
