@… is wondering how much trouble a skipped heading level is for screen reader users. Three users have replied but it'd be great to see more feedback. Anyone else willing to reply to Manuel's post? Here is the link:

I need your help to understand if I'm wrong. If you find a blog overview page with the following document outline, do you believe the skipped h2 poses a problem for screen reader users? (Imagine the headings are all descriptive) h1 blog h3 title of first article h3 title of second article ... It's not ideal, but it's not a WCAG violation. Are the consequences for the user bad or is it okay to be pragmatic here and give it a pass? edit: it's not a site I'm building but one I'm auditing.
