Too many H3 headers

Posted in: Newsmag

How can I change these 134 H3 headers on the home page? SEO rules say that there must not be so many H3 headlines on one page. I have to change it. Can you help?
By the way why such a well-structured template does not have such obvious feature, which is the ability to change these headers?

There are no such H3 rules like that in actuality. It’s normal practice to use H3 for section heads in posts, and on news indexes for the headline to identify it as more important than paragraph text, but not as important as page level h1 title and h2 supplemental (section) heads. If you look at actual information from Google, whomever told you that there are ‘too many h3’ tags on a page is bad, is incorrect. This is normal for an ‘index’ of content that leads to other content — in this context the h3 is used for presentation and not SEO, as on normal news sites the headlines change regularly and so are not used toward the overall weight of a page vs the actual page being linked to where the phrase would be the primary meta data, og data, and h1.

You could certainly edit the template and modules to turn that into h4, but even WP defaults sidebar widgets to h3 going back 12 years now. It’s normal practice to make all supplemental headlines or section heads h3 as h4/h5/h6 generally have no actual relevance other than presentational.

Speaking as an SEO company since March 1995 and WordPress dev since 2005.

Food for thought anyway (I don’t work here).

Hello,

In case you need to change the h3 titles on modules, you can change it from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/DVKt45nnav4b
