Headings skip levels
heading-order
The page jumps from a main heading straight to a smaller sub-heading, skipping a level, which breaks the page's outline.
Who this affects
Screen reader users navigate long pages by jumping heading to heading. A broken outline makes the page hard to move through.
Fix it in WordPress
In Gutenberg, select each heading block and set the correct level in the toolbar. In Elementor, the Heading widget has an HTML Tag setting separate from its size. Theme templates often hard-code an h3 in widget titles, check Appearance → Widgets.
What the fix is, technically
Use headings in order, h1, then h2, then h3. Do not pick a heading level because of how big it looks; change the size with CSS instead.
