H1 tags in html are mostly used for writing the title of the pages. Normally every page has one title, so one H1 tag is minimum requirement when we write a page or article on a website. With HTML5 or where we write the code for website, its possible we write more than one H1 tag as per the design of web page, but minimum one H1 tag should be meet.
