Error «Short H1» Description

Indicates compliant pages that have less than 5 characters (by default) in the <H1> tag. Take into account that you can change the default value on the 'SEO' tab of crawling settings.

The Importance of the Problem

The H1 tag is the main title tag of the page and an important element of search engine optimization. It can be used only once per page (unlike H2-H6).

The H1 title tag should not be completely the same as the Title. The main reason is that they have different tasks. While H1 catches the reader's attention and confirms that the site will have exactly the specified information, Title is usually used by search engine robots. Often search engines display the contents of the tag H1 in the search engine snippets, if the Title tag is made unsuccessfully (in the opinion of the search engine). Therefore, the quality of H1 tag elaboration should not be neglected.

How to Fix Error

Create a unique (within the site) title tag for each page which will concisely describe its content and contain target keywords. It should be brief and informative: the optimal length is from 30-60 characters.
