How to fix page has heading one on Wix
Add a single, descriptive `<h1>` heading to every page so screen readers and search engines can identify the page's main topic.
Steps for Wix
- Open the Wix Editor for the page you want to fix.
- Click on the main title text element on the page (e.g. the hero heading or page name).
- In the Text toolbar at the top, open the 'Paragraph Styles' dropdown and select **'Heading 1'** — this outputs an `<h1>` tag in Wix's rendered HTML.
- If no heading text element exists, click '+ Add' → 'Text' → 'Heading 1' and type your page title.
- For **Wix Stores** product/collection pages, Wix automatically renders product and collection names as `<h1>` in the default Wix Stores layout — if you've overridden this with a custom text box, delete the custom box and restore the default title element, or change its style to Heading 1.
- Publish the site and verify using browser DevTools (right-click the heading → Inspect).
<h1>Women's Running Shoes</h1>What is page has heading one?
Every web page should have exactly one level-one heading — an `<h1>` tag — that clearly names the main subject of that page (e.g. "Women's Running Shoes" on a category page, or a product name on a product detail page). Think of it as the title written on the page itself, separate from the browser tab title. When this heading is missing, assistive technologies like screen readers have no clear starting point to announce to a visitor, and the page's content hierarchy is broken.
**Accessibility & legal risk:** Screen reader users — including shoppers with visual impairments — rely on the `<h1>` to understand where they are and navigate the page quickly. Missing it creates a poor, disorienting experience and can expose your store to accessibility-related legal complaints in jurisdictions where WCAG compliance is expected (e.g. ADA in the US, EN 301 549 in the EU). **SEO & rankings:** Search engine crawlers treat the `<h1>` as the strongest on-page signal for what a page is about. A missing `<h1>` weakens keyword relevance signals, which can suppress organic rankings — especially on high-value category, product, and landing pages. **Conversions:** A clear, visible page heading also reassures human shoppers they've landed in the right place, reducing bounce rates and improving confidence to buy.
