SEO issue - Multiple H1 tags detected in Palo Alto theme - But only 1 H1 header

[nickadl]

Hi,

I use the Palo Alto theme. Even though I only have 1 H1 header, an 'empty' H1 header is detected during SEO audits. 

Is there a way to remove this empty H1? See the attached screenshot, which shows the issue.

See this page as an example: https://securitybase.com.au/collections/other-security-essentials/products/webcam-cover-3

Cheers, Nick

Hello @nickadl 

I hope this message finds you well.

Upon checking, I noticed that the duplicate H1 tag is applied to your store’s logo. You can view this here: [screenshot](https://prnt.sc/7q676b4iusHX).

To resolve this, I recommend changing the H1 tag to an H2 tag. Typically, the H1 tag for the logo can be found in the *header.liquid* file, though the location may vary depending on the theme.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Daisy

That worked, thanks Daisy! Can I also make it an h3 header, or is it better to make it an h2 header? Or doesn't it make a difference?

Cheers, Nick

Your first H1 is your logo image in header, it has no text and that's why reported as "empty".

This can be fixed by a simple theme code edit, but can't suggest without seeing the code.

Sometimes themes have it as H1 on homepage only, but, say, H2 elsewhere -- because other pages has main object (like product on product page, etc.). In your case it's collection page, which is strange.

Also, you may reach out to the theme support -- I'd consider it a bug they should fix.

Unless you have the latest version, they may say "upgrade to the latest" which may be difficult if you have code edits...

Update: Nope, their theme demo shop also has H1 logo on all pages.

I'm in Adelaide too 🙂
