Passi
Add one H1 that clearly names what the page is about (about 20–70 characters).
Place it near the top of the content, after the nav — not only in the browser title.
If you have more than one H1, keep the best one and change the others to H2 or H3.
Check the theme header/footer: accidental H1s often live there.
In HTML / static
Keep a single <h1> and a logical h2→h3 outline.
