Page has no main heading (h1)

Why it matters

The h1 tells everyone what the page is about, and screen reader users often jump straight to it.

How to fix it

Add one h1 that names the page. Usually this is the post or page title.

<!-- Before -->
<div class="big-title">Opening times</div>

<!-- After -->
<h1>Opening times</h1>
