Headings help users understand the information hierarchy to identify a page’s or email’s main points and topics quickly. Heading elements (<h1>-<h2>) allow screen reader users to navigate content more efficiently by jumping to different sections and accessing desired information quickly. Clear and descriptive headings also help with comprehension and reduce cognitive load by breaking the text into manageable sections, making scanning and locating specific information more accessible.
- Use HTML heading tags (<h1>to <h6>)
- Use HTML list tags (<ul>, <ol>, and <dl>)
