How to fix empty heading on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. In Wix Studio, open the relevant page and open the Layers panel from the left toolbar to see every element, including hidden ones.
2. Identify any Text elements set to Heading style (H1–H6) that contain no text. Click each and either add descriptive text or delete the element.
3. For component/section templates reused across pages, edit the base component and fix the heading there so the fix propagates everywhere it is used.
4. Use the built-in Accessibility Wizard (Site → Accessibility Wizard) to surface and step through remaining issues, then republish.

What is empty heading?

A heading tag — `<h1>`, `<h2>`, `<h3>`, and so on — is supposed to label a section of a page, like a chapter title in a book. An "empty heading" is one of those tags that exists in your page's code but contains no readable text: it might be completely blank, hold only a spacer character, or contain an icon with no text alternative. Because the tag is there but says nothing, screen readers announce "heading" to a blind or low-vision visitor and then go silent — which is confusing and often disorienting.

Accessibility & legal risk: WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) and 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels) require headings to be meaningful. Empty headings fail these criteria, exposing your store to accessibility complaints, ADA/AODA/EAA legal action, and — in many jurisdictions — potential litigation. *SEO:* Search engines use heading tags as strong signals for what a page is about. Empty headings dilute the heading hierarchy and give crawlers nothing useful, which can hurt rankings for the sections those headings are meant to introduce. *Conversions:* A broken page structure frustrates assistive-technology users, who represent roughly 15–20 % of the global population, and causes them to abandon your store.
