H1 Headings

Topic summary

Main issue: Adding a Featured Product section on a Shopify Flex theme caused the homepage to have two H1 headings (top-level HTML headings), raising SEO (search engine optimization) concerns.

  • One response noted that multiple H1 tags generally do not hurt SEO if they’re useful, linking an article. The original poster sought a concrete fix instead.

  • A contributor explained the cause: the theme’s Featured Product section renders the product title as an H1 by default. They provided steps: duplicate the theme, open Edit code, locate the Featured Product section file (e.g., featured-product.liquid), and change the product title from H1 to H2 to remove the extra H1. They cautioned this may affect styling.

  • The poster attempted this but couldn’t find matching code in that section.

  • Next steps: The helper asked to search for featured_product.liquid or any “featured” section files and share a screenshot of the Sections directory (a reference screenshot was included) to identify the correct file.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Action item is to locate the correct section file and adjust the heading level.
