So I am fine-tuning a website built on WordPress, and for the umpteenth time I notice how strange the heading progression is - something like:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 4
…okay, so I can’t make it very clear, but H2 is always same size or slightly larger than H1 and not-bold. Most of the rest of the progression, from H1 and then H3-H6, is a sensible descending hierarchy in size and prominence. and usually bolded until at least H4. This is true across even wildly different themes.
Why is H2 such an outlier? What am I missing? I’ve never had layout problems if I do a child-theme change to a more sensible H1-H4 progression.
