Do you use h4, h5 and h6 at all?

I can't understand why these tags exist at all. Only in isolated cases I saw h4 tags in a couple of places and that's it. Is this a rudiment or are they still needed somewhere?

These tags are used to denote subheadings in a document and provide a visual hierarchy to the content, making it easier for readers to understand the structure of the text.

While h1, h2, and h3 are often used for major headings, h4, h5, and h6 can be useful for dividing content into smaller sections, such as subsections within a chapter or subcategories within a topic.

In terms of SEO, properly using these heading tags can be beneficial for a webpage. Search engines use headings to understand the structure of a page and determine the relevance of the content. Using headings properly can help search engines understand the main topics and subtopics of the content on a page, which can improve its ranking in search results.

Overall, while h4, h5, and h6 may not be used as frequently as h1, h2, and h3, they are still important HTML tags that can provide structure and organization to a document and help improve its SEO.

I think you'll find opinions on both sides for this one, but personally I don't use them anymore and think they are obsolete. People reading your content have no idea what tages you are using, or even what tags are used for. That's a webmaster thing.

I used them years ago when first learning html, but haven't in at least 10 years, as I consider them pointless. Google will rank your content according to good writing, not H tags.
