    Of course. When you're changing your HTML it's not the same site from Google's perspective. You can also change internal linking enough to mess something up. It's nearly impossible to guess the outcome, but changes like this are done every day. Just make sure that you've got the on-page stuff right.

    Unfortunately A/B testing that one user suggested wont directly help you in this case, because you can't really A/B test for search engine results. You could test the new layout to see if users appreciate it or not.

    Even if you change the wordings, it can affect your SEO rankings. So if you change your html, it can even affect your SEO rankings more.

      1) in old website we used 1 h1 , 2h2 and 2 h3 tags, so i keep same in new website or change according to best SEO on page practice.


      2)We use HTML5 and this markup code is divided for Home page in different sections.
      </section>

      so, is it recommended to use multiple h1 in home ?

        No. Google's engine is trying to parse the document, and it's possible that you're just confusing them. One H1 per page.

        How can you make a claim like that? Do you have extensive data sets to back it up?

        From the handful of anecdotes I've got I know for a fact that a redesign can severely affect results and leave the site at lower level of SERP placements. How likely is it? I've got no idea.

    I think if you change the wordings, it can affect your SEO rankings. So if you change your html tag , it can even affect your SEO rankings more and help you to increase your page rank .

    Knowing this before the change means you can bolster your ranking with a tool like backlingkbeast or moneyrobot then back it up with social marketing using interest architect

    For Redesign it won't affect for your keywords ranking but you need to change h1 tags for that if your h1 tag is good then it won't affect.

    I only use one H1 tag and that targets my main keyword. My H2 targets my secondary keyword(s) and I use it sparingly. I do use quite a few of H3's and some H4's.

    It helps if you create an outline first and decide on what the page is trying to accomplish. The Headers will be fairly easy to figure out from there.

    Yes it will definitely make a difference. As few of them have mentioned above the structure, content inbound links and h1 tags are equally important for SEO, if it is well maintained you can be fortunate enough. The main thing is to maintain those factors that help your SEO ranking.
