What is the H2 Tag?
About the H2 Tag
The H2 tag is an HTML tag used to define the second level of headings in an HTML document. It is used to create subheadings under the main heading (H1) and helps to structure content, making it easier for both users and search engines to understand the hierarchy and organization of the information.
Advantages
Improved readability: H2 tags help break down content into manageable sections, making it easier for users to read and navigate through the text.
SEO benefits: Using H2 tags appropriately can improve the search engine optimization of a webpage by signaling the structure and importance of the content to search engines.
Accessibility: Proper use of H2 tags enhances the accessibility of a webpage, helping screen readers to better interpret and convey the structure of the content to visually impaired users.
Cons
Overuse can clutter: Overusing H2 tags can lead to a cluttered and confusing layout, diminishing the user experience.
Misuse impacts SEO: Incorrectly using H2 tags, such as using them for styling purposes rather than for structure, can negatively affect the SEO performance of a webpage.
Design limitations: H2 tags come with default styling that may not always align with the design needs of a webpage, requiring additional CSS adjustments.
