Just found out most screen reader users skip huge blocks of text
I was reading a report from the WebAIM survey last month and it said over 70% of screen reader users jump by headings. I always thought they listened to the whole page from top to bottom. It really shows why proper heading structure is so important, not just for looks. Has anyone else had to rework a site's HTML because the headings were just for style?

Heading structure is such a mess sometimes. I saw @blake_murphy61's number and it reminded me of a site where every heading was just a styled paragraph tag.
