What are Heading tags?

[Anirudhshri]

Hello,

HTML Heading tags are used to differentiate the heading of a webpage from the rest of its content. They are the simplest ways to divide up the content of your page into different smaller sections to make it more comprehensible.

For search engine optimization these tags inherit a lot more importance than other HTML tags. If properly used and optimized, heading tags are responsible for bringing up the keywords used in them in SERPs.

Heading tags range from H1 to H6, with H1 being the largest and the most important and H6 the smallest and least important. Therefore, you should always use them in top-to-bottom order: H1 for the main section including one of the most important keyword of your webpage, H2 for subheadings, H3 for even smaller headings and so on.
