# Check a Page's Heading Order Before Anyone Screen-Reads It — Free

List the headings in the order they exist in the markup and mark which order checks pass, so a skipped level or a decorative heading shows up before a screen-reader user meets it.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Anyone seeking practical 100% free AI workflows — no paid API keys, credit cards, or subscriptions

## What's free

- Unlimited headings with the five-check key
- Rows with nothing passing pulled into a wash band
- Starter, shop-page and form records included

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- Printable audit grid — the heading list with the checks, kept with the page's documentation — estimate: ~20 minutes saved per audit
- Saved audits per page — keep three pages in this browser while a template fix runs — estimate: ~25 minutes saved per sprint
- Fix log on the paid copy — which headings were changed and when — estimate: ~15 minutes saved at the next audit
