What this issue means
Why structure matters
Screen reader users jump by headings. Skipping from h1 to h3 breaks expectations; multiple h1s can be acceptable if scoped correctly.
How to fix on WordPress
Page builders make it easy to pick heading blocks for visual hierarchy—audit outline view.
How to fix
Use levels in order for the outline; style via CSS instead of picking headings for size.
Wrap repeated sections in landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) to aid navigation.
Code example
<!-- One H1 per page in the theme; avoid skipping levels (H2 to H4) in block patterns. -->
