Can there be pages without an H1 tag but multiple h2,h3 so on tags?

In the following image there isn't a main heading that can be h1. But all the articles have headings which can be h2 since h1 should only be used once per page from what I read on mdn. My question is that, is this good? or Should there just be an h1 heading titles Articles at the top

a proper hierarchy requires an h1, then an h2, then h3, ... but this just has h6 that's terrible

I’m on mobile so I can’t check, but I’d you look at the source code I’ll bet that their h1 is the icon right above the sidebar menu. Out at least that’s where it should be 🤷

nope there's no h1, h2, h3, h4 or h5 just a bunch of h6 i did a document.querySelectorAll('...') and only found elements for h6

also, this is rendered with blazor, so, all you see is a bunch of scripts and styles

I was talking about the hypothetical when there's only h2 and if that was valid

yup, and that's horrid in terms of syntax and stuff, yeah but ruins the hierarchy of the document

What to do when the design doesn't have a main heading for h1 then? H1 should only occur once on the page right?

either put it with the logo or find a place for it yes

So like I said putting an Articles on top with h1 would be good right?

ἔρως3mo ago
yeah
Ganesh

Alright gotcha

or as i said, you can put the h1 with the logo and site name and then that "articles" title is an h2 not all designs or pages need an h1, visually speaking so, you put the tag where it makes sense

Makes sense Also a question about this

which is why beck said this

You said it's done with blazor. Is it pinging the server every once a while because if I let it idle it tried to rerender Not sure how blazor works

i dont know, but it seems so, as it opens a websocket connection
Ganesh

Ah didn't notice websocket. Got it. There are multiple issues with the website accessibility wise. The theme toggle only has a label with no input and tab order is not helpful. Not sure if you can even navigate the website with keyboard fully Along with some images not having alt text Did leave it on their discord so maybe they can fix it or maybe I'll try to see if i can do it once I get some blazor experience

that's the type of mistake that someone does when starting to learn

Well the website owner has been a professional developer for a while. Maybe better at backend but not paying enough attention on frontend
