Total N00B here - "View Source" vs "Inspect"

I'm trying to teach myself some basic SEO.

Long story short I work for a small business and we want to bring all marketing in-house. So now, instead of working B2B sales I am turning into a web developer. I have some experience selling digital marketing packages but I don't think my boss totally understands the difference between building websites and selling them.

Anyway, I started building a free site on Weebly/square for practice.

I noticed Headline tags do not appear in the source code when I "view page source" but they are in the code when I "inspect element"

I'm using Google Chrome btw.

I assumed this is a limitation brought about by the CMS. I read some threads from 2017 talking about a lack of header tags.

Question is: why do header tags populate in DOM tree but not in HTML source code.

Also, is this a significant problem for SEO? Are they there somewhere and I'm missing them?

I assumed it was an oversight by Weebly/Square and am now learning WordPress.

(Be nice to me, I already know I am out of my depth)

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
