What are headlines used for?
Headlines play a crucial role within a website. They help to divide and organize the information being presented, allowing visitors to easily identify what they are looking for.
Without headlines, the structure would become chaotic and disorganized, making it difficult for visitors to find what they are seeking. The absence of headlines would likely lead to immediate user abandonment of the website.
In TYPO3, there are six different heading levels available (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6). Furthermore, through the page properties, specifically in the appearance section, their design can be modified by adding colored underlines, highlighted lines, embedded backgrounds, etc.
H1 heading
It is used to name of a page he user is on. It is the most important qualification for search engines. Therefore, it is not only of great visual importance, but also has a positive influence on SEO.
H2 heading
It is used to divide large sections of information within a page. It is a prominent element, due to its size, and allows for maintaining an organized structure. The choice of words that comprise it is highly relevant to search engines.
H2 heading
Generally, its use allows for creating subsections within an H2 section or emphasizing list items with lengthy and highly relevant descriptions or annotations.
H4 heading
It could be found within an H3 heading or used in small sections of information to provide a specific structure to the page.
H5 heading
It could be found within an H4 heading or used in small sections of information to provide a specific structure to the page.
H6 heading
It could be found within an H5 heading or used in small sections of information to provide a specific structure to the page.
All headings help with Google positioning. However, as you reach H4, H5, or H6, the strategy behind their usage may be more visually oriented in some cases.
Example of variations
Various appearances can be obtained within the headlines, regardless of the size of the headlines.
