Assuming the popup is a modal, and assuming you're properly hiding the page behind the modal, then in theory you could see this as a whole new context and start with <h1> again. Note that WCAG itself doesn't strictly mandate a specific heading order per se, just that the hierarchical relationship is right (i.e. skipping heading levels is not a hard failure, at least in most interpretations of the SC I've come across). See for instance the discussion here https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/655 and this article https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2020/03/heading-off-confusion-when-do-headings-fail-wcag/ > Regarding the SC 2.5.5, I’m interested if the usage of an invisible > plane that’s 44x44px and lies beneath the target conforms to the SC.

So visually a target can look smaller, as long as the *actual* clickable/tappable area is at least 44x44px. P -- Patrick H.
