# Heading Block | Website Manual

**Heading Block**

Headings split a page into sections that people can scan, and search engines use them to understand how the page is organised.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

Tick them off as you go.

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Headings split a page into sections that people can scan, and search engines use them to understand how the page is organised. The Heading block lets you choose a level from H2 to H6. The page title is usually the H1.

Pick the level by where the section sits in the page. A main section is H2 and a part inside it is H3. If you only want bigger text, change the font size in the block settings and leave the level alone.
