What this rule checks
Ensure that the page, or at least one of its frames contains a level-one heading.
Why it matters
A best practice: screen reader users often jump to the H1 to find what a page is about.
This rule is a recommended practice: failing it isn't a WCAG failure on its own, so our reports list it separately from WCAG failures.
How to fix it
- Make the page's main title an <h1>, keeping its look with a class if needed.
How to check the fix
- Re-scan the affected pages.
How FixReports finds it
Our scan runs the axe-core rule page-has-heading-one in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.
An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
