User reviews

HeadingsMap is praised for its effectiveness in accessibility testing, SEO heading analysis, and navigation of complex web content. Users value its simplicity and fast performance. However, multiple reviews complain about the removal of HTML5 section analysis, inconsistent functioning on many sites, and conflicts with certain web applications. There are also requests for better export features and customization options. Despite some bugs and occasional crashes, it remains a useful tool for web developers, SEO professionals, and academic readers.

Pros

Very useful for accessibility testing and screen reader navigation.
Effectively visualizes heading hierarchy (H1-H6) for SEO auditing and web design.
Simple, fast, and accurate tool for analyzing web page headings.
Highly recommended by users for academic reading and web development.
Supports efficient navigation of complex documents and web page structures.

Cons

Recent removal of HTML5 heading and section analysis reduced usefulness.
Extension often fails to load or work on many websites, causing frustration.
Conflicts with some web apps like Google Calendar and Facebook causing UI or input issues.
Lack of export options and customization features (e.g., removing numbering in generated TOC) frustrates users.
Reported bugs and crashes reduce reliability and cause poor user experience.

the extension differed from all others by the ability to work with HTML 5 - now it has been removed. What is it for then? the rest of the functionality is always full in other SEO tools = return it, but for now 1 point
