Rule page.h1.multiple

Reduce to a single <h1>

page.h1.multiple is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades low-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.

Impact: lowEffort: lowFixable: 1-click

Why it matters

HTML5 technically allows multiple H1s inside <section>/<article> outlines, but every real-world consumer (Google, Perplexity, screen readers) treats only ONE H1 as the page topic. Multiple H1s dilute the topical signal. Convert the extras to H2.

The fix

```html
<!-- Before -->
<h1>Pricing</h1>
<h1>Compare plans</h1>      <!-- 👈 demote -->
<h1>FAQ</h1>                <!-- 👈 demote -->

<!-- After -->
<h1>Pricing</h1>
<h2>Compare plans</h2>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
```
