HeadingsMap review (2026): is it any good?
Free extension that maps a page's headings and flags broken levels
HeadingsMap report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for checking a page's heading order
HeadingsMap builds a clickable outline of a page's headings, sections and landmarks and marks where the levels break, free on Chrome and Firefox. That's all it checks: titles, meta tags, links and schema need another extension, and the store says EU consumer rights don't apply because the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader.
Who HeadingsMap is for
- Fits if you check that a page's headings run in order before publishing
- Works for accessibility reviews of heading and landmark structure
Who HeadingsMap is not for
- Too light for on-page SEO checks, as titles, meta tags, links and schema need another extension
- Skip it if you browse in Safari or Edge, as no store listing for either is named
- Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
Why HeadingsMap gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree from the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, with no account and no paid version listed.
- AFree plan and trialFree outright: every view in the extension, with nothing held back.
- DFeaturesOne narrow function: headings, sections and landmarks, skipped levels marked, click to jump, frames read and hidden headings left out. Titles, meta tags, links and schema need another extension, as the listing says.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: click the icon and the outline appears beside the page.
- BPlatforms and integrationsChrome and Firefox, including Firefox for Android, so it reaches a phone as well as a computer. No Safari or Edge listing is named, and there are no integrations.

Keep it
HeadingsMap is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
What this rests on. HeadingsMap’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is HeadingsMap?
HeadingsMap is a free browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that builds a clickable outline of a page from its headings, sections and landmarks. It marks where the heading levels break the hierarchy, which matters both for SEO and for screen-reader users, and clicking an item scrolls to it on the page. It is made by an independent developer, Jorge Rumoroso.
Worth knowing
- It checks headings, sections and landmarks only; titles, meta tags, links and schema need another extension.
- It is listed for Chrome and Firefox, including Firefox for Android; no Safari or Edge store listing is named.
- The Chrome Web Store notes the developer has not identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights do not apply.
Key features
- Heading outline
- Lists every heading with its level and, optionally, marks where a level is skipped or out of order.
- Sections and landmarks
- Also lists HTML sections and page landmarks, with optional notes on structural errors in each.
- Click to jump
- Clicking an item scrolls the page to that heading and outlines it, so long pages can be checked or read quickly.
- Frames and live pages
- Reads documents inside frames through a document selector, and refreshes the outline when the page changes.
- Copyable anchor links
- When a heading has an anchor, the outline links to it, and an optional link copies that address to the clipboard.
- Hidden headings left out
- Headings hidden from assistive technologies are not shown, so the outline matches what screen readers announce.
