Headings should organize the content rather than merely make text large. A reader scanning the structure should find the main subject and its supporting decisions in a sensible order. For this launch verification page, the practical test is whether the status can be supported by dated evidence for its stated coverage.
Do headings explain the page's reading order?
Start with an owner examining a passed check and a pending check. The heading structure check concerns the tested version, named destinations and evidence behind the status. A seal is meaningful only within its documented scope. Editorial approval, technical launch verification and measured business outcomes represent different claims.
A successful sample or homepage test should not certify every branch. Coverage should name which locations and response states were actually checked.
Check it on this page
Read the status report and find the evidence behind one passed item and one unresolved item before interpreting the badge.
- Read the heading outline without relying on font size.
- Check whether repeated cards and expanded sections belong under the appropriate section.
- Follow an in-page link and inspect the heading under the fixed header.
Header behavior needed checks between desktop and phone sizes
Our navigation reviews considered the fixed header, link labels, compact states and the space available near the menu breakpoint. A clean desktop screenshot did not establish that anchors, menus and content remained usable at narrower sizes.
For this launch verification page, the check focuses on the tested version, named destinations and evidence behind the status. Test the transition widths and scrolled state, not just the widest and smallest layouts.
Repair the source, then check the published result
Use heading levels to express the document structure and CSS to control appearance. Recheck section links and assistive navigation after changing a shared template.
Record the heading structure result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the status can be supported by dated evidence for its stated coverage. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.

The linked Benchmark page helps you inspect the tested version, named destinations and evidence behind the status. It is a current example to explore, not evidence that every business has the same problem.
