You can apply the method below to find H tag errors on your website.

Enter any content on your website.
Do CTRL + U.
Do CTRL + F.
Search by typing /h1.

If there is more than one h1 tag, be sure to reduce it to one and let it be just your post title.
Because Google bots will use h1 as the main heading.

Likewise, you can remove unnecessary h2 usage, thus increasing your number of visitors by structuring the subheadings on your page correctly.
No user will enter your site by searching for an h2 subheading called "Recent Posts".
 
Do this with H tags on your site. pop open any page of your website. Hit CTRL + U to see the source code, then press CTRL + F to bring up the search box. Type in "/h1" to check out how many times you're using the h1 tag. Keeping it to just one h1 tag, which is your main headline, is key because that's what google really pays attention to.

same goes for h2 tags. If you've got too many, or if they're not really adding value, snip some out. You want your h2s to be on point since they're like the supporting actors for your main h1 headline. Think about it: no one's gonna come to your site looking for a "Recent Posts" subheading keep your structure tidy and focused, and you'll likely see more visitors swinging by your site.

Thanks!

I'm a lazy coder that use multiple h1but it seems Google selects the best one based on query. Prior to the Machine Learning algo era, it would have been ignored in toto.
 
Or use an extension and view all the heading ( and many other technical stuff) in a single click -

Bing Search Console gives a list of pages that has more than one H1.
Generally, I wouldn't call "checking the code" for errors in the code a method, but oh well..
