How do I check if a live Wix website has H1 tag and others?

We are looking at a Wix website, and trying to establish if it has H1 and H2 tags. But Wix hides them away.
They can only be checked in the admin screen.

It's makes one think... surely Google cannot read any such H1 tag. So how do you verify if a site has them, if it's a Wix website?

Or do the free ones disable it, thus causing Google NOT to be able to read it either??

If you can Ctrl+F the page source and find an H1/H2 then it is present, otherwise it is not.

Or maybe this question is so profoundly deep that my simple brain can't understand it.

You'd think wouldn't you.
A Wix website does not have the usual Source Code in it. Maybe that's only the case for the free ones, I dont' know.
But this one just has a MASS of code, that bear no relation to HTML. IT has the headers, and the metas, then a ton of junk.

I've seen this on Wix sites before.

I am not sure what Wix is up to, I created a test site and saved the source code. Then I ran it though a code beautifier to attempt to see what the this really looked like.

Wix uses staggering amounts of JavaScript that seems to call more components from the server back and forth. I think they died that to keep people from saving the code and using it on another server.

WordPress is open source and free, Wix is not open source.
