Is it displayed: no duplicate content affects SEO / semantics?
Suppose you are creating a mobile site that meets the highest requirements. With smaller breakpoints, you prefer to display the page title tagline ( <h1> ) in the hero’s main banner. However, later you would like to display the company logo in the same place and display your tag in the basement. For instance:
<header class="hero-banner"> <h1 class="hide-on-lg">Company Tagline</h1> <img src="..." class="show-on-lg" /> </header> <div class="subhead-banner"> <h1 class="show-on-lg">Company Tagline</h1> </div>
... with the following CSS:
.hide-on-lg { display: block; } .show-on-lg { display: none; } @media (min-width: 1200px) { .show-on-lg { display: block; } .hide-on-lg { display: none; } }
The semantic rule is that there should never be more than one h1 on a page, so my question is this:
Does this duplicate content have SEO impact or violate semantics if only one option is really displayed?
