    Hello everyone,

    Is it advantageous for a website to link the H1 tag to the same page?


    I have a question regarding the optimization of my website's SEO. I read that it's important to use the H1 tag to indicate the title of the page and make it easier for search engines to understand the content. However, I am wondering if it's also useful to include a link within this tag that points to the same page.

    I already implemented on my WordPress website,
    Could you please share your thoughts on this matter? Can this have a positive or negative impact on the ranking of my website in search results?


    Thank you in advance for your responses and advice.

    Wordpress should automatically create an H1 tag for your Title, unless your Theme changes it for some reason. No, don't add anything to your H1 tags.

    There is no benefit to linking h1 to the same page or the other webpage.
    It would be better to not link it with it anything.

    Thank for your reply,
    yes Wordpress already add the H1 of my title,
    because i don't use breadcrumb,
    i was hoping it was a good strategy for the "juice" but it's look like i was wrong;)

    Your H1 already tells the search engine that the text of the H1 is the main topic of that page. A link from the H1 to that page adds nothing.
