      H tag is site structure. It usually to indicate to headline in your site. people use H1 for most important headline, like site title.

      H tag can be help spider when crawl our site.

      I suggest you to use H1 for your site in main index(homepage) and for post title in single page. It good for SEO.

      See your code in your template. usually in index.php and single.php, also match with your CSS.

      Best regard

    Through h1 tags search engines come to know about the site content details.It can be termed as the most simple form of header found on a web page or you can say this is header tag situated in body of a website.

    After your <title>keyword</title> tag, and the the meta description tag, h1 tags are the 3d important stuff for onsite seo.

    You can place your website name between the h1 tag like this: <h1>keyword</h1>

    If you have large articles, use also h2 tags for subheading like
    <h2>keyword</h2>

    You can style the h1 and h2 tags via css.

    Basically the <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define HTML headings, <h1> defines the largest heading and <h6> defines the smallest heading.

    Some said that the functions of H1 in GOOGLE's eyes is less important now, but you can use it in your pages if you like, I am not sure how important for H1 tag now but I am still using it.

    I am also glad if someone who knows the changing google better and let us know in details.

    The <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define HTML headings.
    <h1> defines the largest heading and <h6> defines the smallest heading.

      <H1> Tag is an HTML tag that defines the first, largest and most important position on a page. Including keywords in the H1 tag can communicate with search engines that the page is relevant for these keywords.

        One thing related to this that I want to mention is that you should not use H# Tags for formatting.

        This was a common practice in earlier times and is still taught in some HTML tutorials. H# is meant for Headlines so not only google but also screenreaders (for the visually impaired) can identify and format/read out your page correctly.

    Within the h1 tag most important keyword/key phrase of web page is written. <h1>keyword</h1>. You can also do formatting of this text by using css.

      It refers to heading size. That is, text size.
      Normally to emphasize the correct title of a following section or
      paragraph. h1 is largest, h6 is smallest.

      h1, h2, h3...can denote the importance of the text related to the content
      that follows. h1 can be considered most important, but that's not
      really what it was designed for.

      h1 should be for the top level heading, h2 for subtitle, subheading, etc.

      It's not a header tag. The word is heading. Heading size.

      Contrary to the above post(Tashi Mortier), you should use these!

      It's true that browsers sometimes choke on them, but search engines don't.
