Sidebar blocks should be without h3 headings?

Hello,

is there a way to remove those h3 headings from the sidebar/ widget block modules? I don’t think it’s good for SEO if there are so many h3 headings in the sidebar, with different topics than the post itself (15 in my case – 5 popular news, 5 latest news and 5 last articles).

Kind regards,
davistar

Or would you say, I shouldn’t worry about that?

You can use <h3> headings without worry about SEO; WordPress commonly uses <h3> for the sidebar and other subordinate headings, as they are two levels below the main page heading <h1> and a level below content subheads in the post which are usually <h2>.

You can think of <h3> as a utility headline for any element on page which identifies an area or section, and can also be used in the post as well.

Technically in HTML5, you can use any H tag within a container, or section, if properly defined.

Upshot: nothing to worry about. 🙂

Ok, Christopher, you’re right. I’m probably worrying too much 😉 Thank you.

“WordPress commonly uses <h3> for the sidebar” But only for the widget titles and not the posts inside the widget.
