Actual Results
The heading structure is found to be inappropriate on the page. Texts such as "Dark theme has landed in Confluence Data Center!", “Keep your content concise with word count", and “Plan your time better with estimated read time” are coded as <h3> which does not match the visual hierarchy on the page.
As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.
Expected Results
The heading levels should be announced as per the visual hierarchy by the screen reader to understand the page structure for their users. Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3>, and so on. Provide appropriate heading level to the mentioned heading text i.e. <h2>.
