4 weeks ago @DecorOutdoor I don't work for WPE, but saw this in passing. Hopefully, it will help you.

The author box title displayed on single posts has an H4 tag, which Google Pagespeed Insights has cited “Heading elements are not in a sequentially-descending order.”
The developers for the Genesis Sample theme edited the author archives to address this issue per updates: “Accessibility: Author box titles on author archives now use h2 instead of h4 to prevent heading levels from jumping.”
However, they did not address this on single posts, which are much more important (and indexed by Google).
The developers did offer some coding for the child theme’s functions.php file (see below).
add_filter('genesis_author_box_title', 'custom_author_box_title', 10, 3);function custom_author_box_title($title, $context, $user_id) { // Always use
for the author box title return '
' . $title . '
';}But it only added a new H2 within the original H4 header tags rather than replacing them (see below).
