Are multiple H1 tags in Framer a problem?
Learn why multiple H1 tags can appear in Framer and why they’re usually not an SEO issue.
It’s common for SEO tools to flag multiple H1 tags on a Framer page. While that warning can look serious, it’s usually nothing to worry about.
Why multiple H1 tags appear
Framer duplicates certain elements to support responsive layouts. These duplicates are controlled with CSS media queries, which hide or show elements at different breakpoints. This approach is intentional. It helps ensure good performance, accessibility, and design flexibility across devices.
Because of this, you may see multiple H1 tags in the rendered HTML. Many SEO tools simply scan the raw HTML and flag this as a potential issue, without accounting for how the page is actually rendered.
How Google reads a page
Google doesn’t evaluate pages the same way most SEO tools do. It uses a headless Chromium browser to fully render each page, including all CSS and JavaScript. This allows Google to understand which elements are actually visible to users.
Hidden elements, including duplicated headings controlled by media queries, are recognized and ignored during indexing. In practice, this means that responsive H1 duplicates in Framer typically don’t cause SEO problems.
