    Uploaded image what's this tellig me for jamesallenwrites.com Thought for 21s It’s telling you that Screaming Frog did not detect an H1 heading on those pages. From that screen: You’re on the H1 tab The filter is set to Missing It found 9 URLs on jamesallenwrites.com with 0 H1 occurrences Those pages include: homepage /about /privacy-policy /faq /terms /books /choices /contact /feedback What that means in plain English: those pages likely do not have a real <h1> tag in the HTML or the visible page title is styled text, but not actually marked as H1 Why it matters: each page should generally have one clear H1 it helps search engines understand the main topic of the page it also improves structure/accessibility Also, the right-side panel saying Disconnected just means you have not connected GA4, Search Console, PageSpeed, etc. That is not the main issue shown here. So the takeaway is: Your crawl completed, and Screaming Frog is flagging 9 pages that appear to be missing H1 headings. A good next step is to open one of those pages in Zoho and make sure the main visible page title is actually set as an H1, not just larger styled text. can we force a <h1> into each pages header code? Not into the header code if you mean the HTML <head> section. An <h1> belongs in the page body, not in <head>. If you mean the visible top section of each page, then yes, you can place an <h1> there — but it should be: one per page page-specific visible on the page tied to that page’s actual topic What you do not want: one sitewide global <h1> repeated on every page hiding an <h1> just to satisfy SEO stuffing keywords into it Best approach: Homepage: James Allen | Author of Reflective Fiction, Essays & Poetry About: About James Allen Books: Books by James Allen Contact: Contact James Allen FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions Feedback: Reader Feedback Choices: whatever that page is truly about If Zoho lets you edit each page banner/title area, that is the clean fix. Use the page’s main title block and set it to Heading 1. If Zoho does not give you that option, then the fallback is adding a small custom HTML block near the top of each page with an <h1> in the page body. Example: <h1>About James Allen</h1> So the answer is: Yes, you can force an H1 onto each page, but it should be added in the visible page content area, not in the page head code, and not as one repeated global header. Paste me one page’s Zoho editor view and I’ll tell you the cleanest place to put it. Uploaded image what am i missing then? Thought for 37s Most likely, you’re missing one of these two things: “Heading” in Zoho is only a style choice, not necessarily a real <h1> tag Screaming Frog may be crawling the raw HTML, while Zoho is rendering that heading with JavaScript after load So the text can look like a heading in the editor and still not exist as a true <h1> in the published HTML. What to do next: First test: in Screaming Frog, switch to Config > Spider > Rendering > JavaScript then crawl again. Screaming Frog specifically says to do this when pages may rely on JavaScript for H1s. If the H1s still show as missing after that, then Zoho is probably outputting that text as a styled block like a <div> or <p>, not an actual <h1>. Fastest way to confirm: open the published page in your browser right-click the heading text choose Inspect see whether it is actually wrapped in <h1>...</h1> If it is not a real <h1>, then your fix is: either use a Zoho element that truly outputs an H1 or insert a small custom HTML/text block near the top of the page with a real <h1> Also, Screaming Frog treats a page as missing H1 when there is no <h1> at all, or the H1 is empty/whitespace. So the short answer is: You’re probably seeing a visual heading, not a semantic H1. And the other possibility is Screaming Frog is not rendering the JS version of the page yet. Run the JavaScript-rendered crawl first. If you want, send me a screenshot of the inspected HTML for that heading or the Screaming Frog rendering setting, and I’ll tell you which one it is. i'll go fix them alt tag for that image? Thought for a few seconds Use: James Allen author portrait with the words “James Allen” and “Stories, reflections, and everyday wisdom.” If you want a slightly more SEO-forward version: Portrait of author James Allen with banner text: “Stories, reflections, and everyday wisdom.” For a hero/banner image, I’d use the first one. Uploaded image alt tag ? The Sawdust Sage banner with woodworking tools and the tagline “Where sawdust meets stardust.” Uploaded image alt tag? Seamus Ailin banner with cat silhouette, moonlit sky, and the tagline “Wonder, whiskers, and small adventures.”
