URL Heading Checker
Fetch a page and show its H1–H6 outline with hierarchy problems.
What this tool does
Extracts headings from a live page and flags missing or multiple H1s, empty headings and skipped levels.
Who should use it
Content teams and competitors' structure research.
How it works
Headings are read in document order from the fetched HTML and compared to the previous level.
How to use it
- Enter the full address of the page or site, including https://.
- Press the run button. The check makes live requests from our server and can take up to about 30 seconds.
- Read the findings first, then open the tables for detail. Each finding has a severity and a suggested fix.
- Copy or download the results if the tool offers it, fix the issues on your site and run the check again to confirm.
Practical example
H1 → H3 raises a skipped-level warning.
Understanding the results
The outline can be downloaded for the content gap planner.
Limitations
This is a live check of the URL, made from our server; results can differ from what search engines or visitors see from other locations. Headings inserted by JavaScript are not seen.
Accuracy and report transparency
Findings come from a real HTTP request made by our server. The result panel shows the checked URL, the UTC time of the check and the data source, and separates measured findings from limitations. We do not show random or sample metrics.
Privacy
The URL you enter is used only to make the request and is not stored in our database. Results may be cached for about ten minutes to limit repeat requests, and the checker blocks local and private network addresses. See the Privacy Policy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I have several H1s?
HTML allows it, but one H1 keeps the page outline clear for people and tools.
Is my data sent to your server?
The URL you enter is sent to our server so it can request that page. We do not store the page content or your results. Only an anonymous usage counter is kept, and short-lived cached results may be held for about ten minutes to reduce repeat requests.
How accurate are the results?
Findings are verified against the live HTTP response our server received at the time shown. They can differ from what Google or your visitors see, because of location, caching, JavaScript rendering or bot blocking.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. There is no account, limit or paid plan. The site is supported by advertising, which is disclosed on our Advertising Disclosure page.
