 If a user leaves the tagline option empty, the theme prints an empty H2
 heading below the site title in the header.
 You can test this by leaving the tagline option empty in the Customizer or
 Settings > General, and then viewing the source of any page on the front
 of the website.

 {{{
 <h1 class="site-title"><a href="http://66.local/" rel="home">Site
 Title</a></h1>
 <h2 class="site-description"></h2>
 }}}

 This is an error according to WCAG and makes it more difficult for some
 users to navigate the page using headings.
 Here is a good summary of why: https://equalizedigital.com/accessibility-
 checker/empty-heading/

 This heading should only be output on the page if there is a tagline.
