What This Means

The document contains more than one <head> element. The HTML specification allows only one head per document.

Why It Matters for SEO

When multiple head elements exist, HTML parsers handle the duplication by treating the first head as the document head and interpreting subsequent head elements as body content. Metadata in the second head may not be processed as metadata. This is usually caused by a template that opens a head element when one was already opened.

What the Platform Checks

Counts <head> elements in the parsed document. Fires when count > 1.

How to Fix It

Merge the content of all head elements into a single <head> element. Identify the template components generating multiple head elements and remove the duplicates.

Find every pagewith multiple head tags

The audit flags every page with multiple head elements — trace the template conflict causing the duplication.
