Hi there,
when running SiteChecker on my website I get a “Page has identical headings” issue. This is due to how product title appears on top of each product page:

My Product Name

My Product Name

It seems that there is a link included in each product__title div, although I cannot see anything clickable on the page. in any case with have a h2 title identical to the h1. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? thanks

Hi @akoko ,

The issue you’re encountering is due to having multiple headings with the same content on your product page, specifically an H1 and an H2 with identical text. This can confuse search engines and affect your SEO negatively.

To resolve this issue, you should ensure that each page has only one H1 heading, which should be the main title of the page. In your case, “My Product Name” should be the H1 heading. The duplicate H2 heading should be removed or changed to a different heading level if it serves a different purpose.

Here’s how you can fix it:

  1. Remove the Duplicate H2 Heading:

    • If the H2 heading is not necessary, simply remove it from your HTML code.

  2. Change the H2 Heading Level:

    • If you need to keep the second heading for styling or structural purposes, change its level to something other than H1 or H2, such as H3 or a paragraph tag, depending on its importance.

  3. Check for Clickable Elements:

    • Ensure that there are no hidden elements or CSS styles that might be causing the link to appear non-clickable. You might want to inspect the CSS associated with .product__title to see if any styles are affecting visibility or interactivity.

By making these adjustments, you should be able to resolve the “Page has identical headings” issue and improve your page’s SEO structure.

I hope this helps. Good luck optimizing your Shopify store!
