What is Heading Extractor?

Heading Extractor is an online tool that efficiently extracts page titles (<title> tag), meta descriptions, and heading tags (<h1> to <h6> tags) from specified URLs. With high-speed parallel processing via server-side API, it supports batch processing of up to 20 URLs. The extraction results can be downloaded in CSV format, helping to streamline SEO analysis and content research.

Use Cases

SEO Analysis and Improvement

  • Optimize Heading Structure: Verify if page heading hierarchies are properly set up and improve them for optimal SEO
  • Keyword Analysis: Understand keyword usage in headings to enhance SEO effectiveness
  • Batch Meta Information Check: Simultaneously check the length and content of titles and meta descriptions

Website Development & Management

  • Understand Site Structure: Extract and compare heading structures across multiple pages to verify site-wide consistency

  • Competitor Research: Analyze heading structures of competitor sites to inform content strategy

How to Use Heading Extractor

  1. Enter URLs: Paste the URL(s) of the web page(s) you want to analyze into the input area (up to 20 URLs can be processed at once)
  2. Set Extraction Options:
    • Select which heading tag levels you want to extract (h1-h6)
    • Choose navigation element exclusion settings
  3. Run Extraction: Click the Extract Headings button to start processing
  4. Review Results: Check the extracted heading structure and meta information in the preview
  5. Download Data: Save the results as a CSV file for analysis

Batch Processing Multiple URLs (Up to 20 URLs)

To extract headings from multiple pages at once, enter the URLs separated by line breaks. If more than 20 URLs are entered, only the first 20 URLs will be processed automatically. For example:

https://example.com/page1
https://example.com/page2
https://example.com/page3

With server-side parallel processing, multiple URLs are processed efficiently at high speed. Results for each page are displayed in a list, with successful extractions showing results normally and errors displaying appropriate error messages.

Improved Accuracy with Exclusion Features

When the "Exclude navigation and other elements" option is enabled, headings within the following elements are excluded to extract only content headings:

  • Navigation (<nav> elements)
  • Header (<header> elements)
  • Footer (<footer> elements)
  • Sidebar (<aside> elements)

This feature allows for more accurate analysis of the main content's heading structure.

Customizing Tag Extraction

You can freely specify which heading tag levels you want to extract. This is a useful feature when you want to focus on specific heading levels:

  • All Headings: Extract all headings from <h1> to <h6> (default)
  • Main Headings Only: Focus only on major headings like <h1>, <h2>
  • Specific Heading Levels: Extract only specific heading levels based on your analysis needs

CSV Data Format

The downloaded CSV file contains the following data:

  1. Basic Information
    • URL
    • title (page title)
    • description (meta description, if present)
  2. Tag-specific Counts
    • h1 count, h2 count, h3 count, h4 count, h5 count, h6 count
  3. Heading List
    • Heading text arranged in page order
    • Format: h1,heading text, h2,heading text, etc.

How to Utilize Extracted Data

The extracted data can be used in various ways:

  • Spreadsheet Analysis: Open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets to analyze heading structures
  • Heading Structure Comparison: Compare heading structures across multiple pages to check consistency
  • SEO Reporting: Use the data as part of SEO reports for clients or management
  • Tag-specific Statistics: Analyze the usage frequency of each heading level for SEO optimization

Limitations and Considerations

URL Quantity Limits

To prioritize processing efficiency and stability, the number of URLs that can be processed at once is limited to a maximum of 20 URLs. If more than 20 URLs are entered, the first 20 URLs are automatically selected for processing.

  • High-speed Processing with Parallel Execution: Server-side parallel processing enables efficient processing even for multiple URLs
  • Partial Success Support: Even if some URLs encounter errors, the processing results for other URLs are displayed normally
  • Stability Assurance: URL quantity limits help prevent browser load and timeout errors

Restricted Access Sites

Some websites may have content access restrictions due to security measures or privacy protection:

  • Sites requiring login
  • Sites requiring JavaScript rendering
  • Sites with access restrictions or rate limiting

Heading extraction may not work properly on these types of sites. When errors occur, only the relevant URL displays an error message, and other URL processing is not affected.
