Accessibility: Best Practice – Page Must Contain <h1>

Ensures that the page, or at least one of its frames, contains an h1 element that appears before the start of the main content.

This allows screen reader users to use keyboard shortcuts to navigate the heading structure, instead of wasting time listening to more of the web page to understand its structure.
