    <head> is inside the <html> tag. This tag contains the <title> of the webpage.
    and <h1>, <h2>, <h3> are all 'headings' inside your webpage. The size of <h1> is highest, while that of <h6> is the lowest.

    For example,
    
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading 1 (Large font)</h1>
<h2>Heading 2 (Medium font)</h2>
<h3>Heading 3 (Small font)</h3>
<h4>Heading 4</h4>
<h5>Heading 5</h5>
<h6>Heading 6 (Smallest font)</h6>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Try this code, to help you better understand HTML.

    It's up to whoever coded the site. Think of your site's content as an outline what are the appropriate headings? Page titles probably for H1, then major points one each page as h2s, etc.

    It's like a newspaper layout. You have a main heading (h1), a few sub-headings (h2), several minor headings (h3), and then text (p). I don't think I've ever used h5 or h6.

    H1 Headings help A LOT in SEO! Try making your H1 and H2 to include important keywords! Hope this tip helps some of you who may not know this trick.
