Fluid layouts and headings of content elements
The page title in the backend does not have to appear as a heading in the frontend. Check page layout and heading settings of the visible content items.
Check the semantic heading in both the page layout and the content element used. The appearance of a heading and its HTML tag can be configured separately. Reused teasers must not force the same hierarchical level everywhere.
Where to check the setting in TYPO3
In Sitepackage, open the fluid template of the affected page type and the header part of the content items. Compare the heading level selected there with the backend fields. A page title in the layout and a heading in the first content element can overlap.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: An article shows its title only as a styled div; the first semantic heading is an H2 for a subsection.
<h1>So warten Sie Ihre Fahrradbremsen</h1>
<h2>Benötigtes Werkzeug</h2>follow-up audit in TYPO3
Read the complete rendered page including menus and hidden variants. An isolated fluid file does not show how multiple elements work together.
The central article title is issued as a suitable main heading. After that, control the entire structure and not just the optical size.
Derogations and scope
A missing H1 element alone does not prove a ranking loss. The correction is intended to make the main topic structurally understandable.
Reference: TYPO3 13.4 with EXT:seo. For other major versions and own extensions, responsibilities may differ; check the actually installed output.
