Actual Behaviour

Many <h1> elements such as “Kanban project“ “Open issue“ and the Issue name were used. This makes it difficult for screen reader users to understand the web page structure.

Expected Result

It is recommended to use only one h1 on a web page. Heading 1 of a page describes the core content of the page. A web page generally should have only one heading at level 1 (h1) that is indicative of the page contents. Heading level 1 is used to indicate the main topic of the page. Use of more than one h1’s on a page can lead to confusion in the minds of users who rely on headings to understand the page content especially users with visual impairments.
