Multiple H1 Tags on my Website Product Page

by @msaqiib57 (121), 1 year ago

I'm finding multiple H1 tags on my website's product pages, and both are displaying the product title. After viewing the page source, here is what I found:

  1. <#title>My Product Title#>

  2. <#meta property="og:title" content="My Product Title" /#>

I believe this is causing the duplicate H1 tag issue on the product pages.

I have two questions about this:

  1. Is having multiple H1 tags hurting my SEO?

  2. How can I solve this issue?

As someone new to SEO, I would greatly appreciate any help from experts in addressing this problem. Please let me know if the page source details provide enough information to determine why I'm getting duplicate H1 tags and how to properly structure the page title and meta title to avoid duplicate H1 issues. I'm eager to learn more about proper on-page optimization for SEO.

Firstly, H1 is a separate tag in HTML and it has nothing to do with title and meta tags. There is no duplicate H1 tag in the given example. At times, multiple H1 tags can be permitted on a page. There is no penalty for it.

In the given example, using a page title in the title tag and and meta falls under the best practices. There is nothing to worry about in this case too.

Thank you so much for the guidance as I mentioned above I'm new to SEO so I wasn't sure about this.

I'm using the "Detailed SEO Extension" and when I analyze my website page through that extension it shows me multiple headings and both headings is showing as H1 for the same page Title is that ok too?

If that is not necessary, you can change the later headings to H2. This is what the best practice is. Search engines do not penalize for multiple H1 tags.
