<h1> tag is empty

An observed issue is that the webpage has an h1 tag, however, it contains no actual text content.

The h1 element is fundamentally significant for both user experience and search engine understanding, outlining the primary topic of the page content.

Lacking content within an h1 element misses a crucial chance to guide your audience and enhance SEO.
