Question

How do I troubleshoot the issue?

Answer

You can open the HTML view in the Siteimprove page report to inspect that the heading tags are nested correctly.

In the example page report below:

• An H3 heading, <h3>Chapter one</h3>, skips one heading level when nested under an H1 heading called <h1>Part one</h1>.
• And the H6 heading, <h6>Chapter one</h6>, skips 3 heading levels when nested under the H2 heading <h2>Part two</h2>.
