H1 vs Title Keyword Overlap

Compares H1 and Title and computes keyword overlap (Jaccard) — penalizes generic titles unaligned with the H1.

How much your title and H1 agree

The title was written for clicks in the SERP, the H1 was written for someone already on the page, and the two came from different heads. After a few hundred URLs it is common for the main keyword to sit in one and vanish from the other — and whoever reviews the batch has no time to read both side by side, row by row.

The comparison tokenizes both strings, strips accents and punctuation, drops a short stopword list covering English and Portuguese (the, of, for, de, da, para), then computes the Jaccard index: intersection over union of the unique tokens. Bands are 70% or more for strong, 40% for medium, 15% for weak, and anything below that counts as unaligned. Because Jaccard is symmetric, an extra word on either side pulls the score down — the prefilled example scores 29% even though both strings describe the same thing.

Read the number as a signal, not a target. A short title that is a strict subset of the H1 will never approach 100%, and that is fine. There is no stemming: calculator and calculators count as different tokens. The most useful part of the output is the intersection line — if your main keyword is missing from it, the misalignment is real. You paste both strings yourself; the tool never fetches your URL. It runs in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage should I aim for?
No specific one. Check that the main keyword shows up in the intersection; somewhere between 40% and 70% usually means the two strings agree without being identical.
Does it read the H1 from my URL?
No. You paste the title and the H1 into the two fields. Nothing is fetched, which also means it works fine against a staging site.
Does the stopword list cover both languages?
Yes, in short lists of articles, prepositions and connectors for English and Portuguese. Words like free, online and best still count as tokens.
