Screenshot
Actual Results
The "Branches" heading does not follow the visual structure of the page. It is inappropriately defined as heading level 2 instead of heading level 1. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.
Expected Result
The heading levels should correctly convey the relationship between the headings, such as the parent-child relationship between the headings. Provide an appropriate heading level to the mentioned heading text, such as <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, and so on.
Code snippet
<h1>Branches</h1>
