How to use
01
Enter the page URL
Type or paste the full address you want to inspect, then press Extract headings. The tool fetches the page and parses every heading tag it finds, in order.
02
Scan the level counts
Chips at the top show totals for each level, H1 through H6. A warning appears automatically when the page carries more than one H1 tag.
03
Walk the indented tree
Each heading is indented by its level, so a jump from H2 straight to H4 is visible at a glance. Use the copy button beside any line to grab its text.
Why Page Headings Extractor
- Visualize the heading hierarchy of any page.
- Color-coded H1-H6 with proper indentation.
- Shows counts per level so you can spot SEO issues (multiple H1s, skipped levels).
Common questions
What does the heading checker do when a page has two H1 tags?
It lists both and shows a warning above the tree recommending a single H1 per page. Google can handle multiple H1s, but one clear H1 keeps the page's main topic unambiguous.
How can I extract headings from page HTML without opening devtools?
Paste the URL here and the parser pulls every H1 to H6 for you. That's faster than scrolling through view-source and hunting for tags, especially on long pages.
Why is a skipped heading level a problem for SEO?
Jumping from H2 to H4 breaks the document outline that screen readers and crawlers reconstruct. People navigating by headings lose the sense of what nests under what. It won't tank rankings on its own, but it's a cheap structural fix.
Does the heading structure checker read JavaScript-rendered headings?
It parses the HTML the server returns. Headings injected purely by client-side JavaScript after load may not appear, so if the tree looks empty on a heavy single-page app, that's usually why.
Is it fine for a page to have zero H1 headings?
You can rank without one, but you're giving up a free, strong signal about the page topic. If the count chip shows H1: 0, promote your most descriptive heading.
What do the colors in the extracted heading tree mean?
H1s get the brand color, H2s are green, H3s are amber, and deeper levels stay neutral gray. The coloring is a reading aid only; it carries no judgment about right or wrong.
Should I copy a competitor's heading outline into my content brief?
It's a common workflow, and every row in the tree has its own copy button for exactly that. Their H2s and H3s show what subtopics they cover, and the gaps become your angle.
