Heading Extractor

Heading Extractor pulls every heading from a webpage and shows its structure from H1 through H6, giving you a clear outline of how the page's content is organized. Headings form the document's skeleton, and seeing them in order reveals the hierarchy, sectioning, and information architecture of a page at a glance, without wading through the full body text.

The tool fetches the page, parses its HTML, and lists each heading tag in document order along with its level, so you can spot the title H1, the major sections, and their nested subsections. A well-formed page should have a single H1 followed by logically nested H2s and H3s, and the extracted outline makes it obvious when levels are skipped, duplicated, or out of order.

This is essential for SEO and accessibility work. Search engines use headings to understand topical structure, and screen readers let users navigate by heading level, so a broken hierarchy hurts both rankings and usability. Content editors and technical writers also use the outline to check that a page covers its topics in a sensible order and to generate a table of contents.

Pair it with the URL Extractor to analyze a page's links and headings together, and with the AI Summarizer when you want the gist of the content rather than its structure. Watch specifically for multiple H1s, an H3 appearing before any H2, and empty headings, all of which are common structural problems the outline will surface.
