There is a problem with my website: "The first heading is not H1". Also, how can I remove this "Country/region" which is in an H2 tag? I've been puzzled by this for a long time. Can anyone give me a hand?
This is my website.https://www.dewellx.com/
I'm glad to receive your message. This h1 tag disappeared after I added the logo. So I'm wondering if it's possible to add some remarks or something similar to the logo, so that the logo can be recognized as the store name. I'm not sure if you have any suggestions? Thank you very much!
It's not an problem, rather recommendation, which is not always feasible.
Modifying your theme to fix this will cause you bigger problems in the long run.

I'm glad to see your message. However, in terms of the current mainstream SEO optimization, this h1 tag should be the store name, which is the common understanding. Therefore, I have no choice but to find a way to achieve this goal.
Looks like you've changed your original question -- I've answered when it was just about "The first heading is not H1".

This can be true on the home page. On other pages (collection, product) your default H1 has proper content too, however on product page you also have H1 in product description ("Specification", "Product features") which is a bad SEO.
As for the homepage, in this theme H1 by default is your logo (only on homepage), which can either be text (then it's indexed as is) or image, which should have ALT attribute (this is your store name by default) and will be indexed by ALT attribute then -- "Google: Text In An Image Alt Attribute Within An H1 Is Within The H1" (https:/ /www.se roundtable.com/google-text-in-an-image-alt-attribute-h1-29007.html)
And by default, on the homepage logo is the first heading..
But looks like your theme code was modified to remove H1 from the logo element.
