When I open a page, I press "1" to go to the main part of the content and to avoid nav bars, side bars and everything inconsequential between the top of the page and the part I'm interested in. If there is no h1, the shortcut is in vane and I start checking with 2, 3, 4 and some other possibilities to find the important stuff or try to find if the article/text/whatever starts with no heading at all and where it is doing it from. Generally, it can take from half a second to 10-20 seconds to orient myself in the structure of the content.
There is a mailing list and one of the most annoying things there is that the mail treads page has only h2. I forget it every time and I need to do 1, 2 before I reach the first mail in the tread. If they make it h1 and if every mail in the tread has an h2, it will radically improve navigation and spare me navigating requoted previous mails and mail footers.
- paul_f 6y agoThis seems an edge case to me. For the vast majority of people, having the prime heading in <h2> and subheadings in <h4> would be totally unnoticeable.
