H1 tags not displaying in SEO checkup

Hello,

All pages and posts have the keywords and description in the "Title" which is suppose to be H1 for on-page SEO. However, after I run a site SEO checkup to get a report of what I need to fix, there are zero H1 tags. I am pretty certain something is cloaking them, probably the theme from what I have read. My problem is, I don't have a clue how to get Google to see them if they are hidden. Yoast says I have them too so this is a mystery. An help would be great!

  • Check HTML source for <h1>. That should solve this kind of mystery.
  • Whatever you are using for your "SEO checkup" sounds like it just sucks.
  • On "view Source" for the home page, there is no H1 but I do see them other pages and posts. As far as the quality of SEO checkup, granted they were free but I did use three different ones. When I couldn't believe how it reported zero, I went looking for another. Does anyone have something better to recommend?

    • Really strange... Never happened to me, can you change it to H2 for example to see if it's working? Is this a specific plugin?
  • Yeah, it happens some times with many themes. Your SEO plugins may be saying that you have one h1 tag but its not visible. Try to check your theme settings first & I will also recommend you to take a look on your 'wordpress admin panel> Appearances> Customize'.

    • expmrb, thanks. Yeah, I have been all over the appearance and theme customize a million times thinking that I was crazy but I can't do any more with what I see. Maybe it is as Mike suggested, everything is fine and the SEO checkup report was giving me bad info. I do wish there was a definitive report that I could rely on.

    The following H1 tag should be used in following format
    <h1 style=”font-size:14px; ”><a href=”http://” title=”How are you feeling”>I feel better than yestarday</a></h1>

    You can check it through yoast plugin.
  • If you do not see H1's in the source code of the page, then yeah they are definitely not there.

    I really doubt it is a plugin. I have never come across a plugin that strips out H1 tags. It is most likely the theme.
  • Mike, Thanks. That's what I thought. So I have a problem and I have no clue how to fix it.

    • If you do not know how to update the code yourself, then change your theme.
