Heading tags help users who use assistive technology to understand how content is structured. They're also used for screen readers to know how to navigate through your site.
When adding heading tags, you should ensure that they follow a hierarchy structure. Heading 1 (h1 )is used for the primary heading, followed by Heading 2 (h2) for subheadings, and so on to h6.
Headings must flow in numeric order to be accessible, e.g. H1 at the top of the page, H2 for sub-headings etc. You can also repeat heading types, e.g. - multiple H2s - and still be accessible
