Actual Results

The “Anusooya” and “Chirag Goyal” headings in the Comments subsection of the Activity section are not semantically marked up using appropriate heading tags.

As a result, screen reader users find it difficult to understand the page’s content structure.

Expected Results

Ensure that headings are semantically marked up so screen reader users can correctly perceive the content hierarchy and navigate the page structure.

When an element serves to title or categorize content, it should be declared as a heading with the appropriate HTML tag and level. Use heading levels that accurately represent the page’s structure, including the parent–child relationships between sections.

In this case, mark the mentioned headings using the <h3> element.
