Page and content structure
Some text is displayed visually as a heading but is not marked up as such for assistive technology (WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1).
Multiple paragraphs of text that do not act as headings have been inappropriately marked up as headings (WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1).
