+## Checks
+
 If your application needs a longer period to boot up - perhaps to load data into memory, or because of slow boot time - you may also use dokku's `checks` functionality to more precisely check whether an application can serve traffic or not.
 
 To specify checks, add a `CHECKS` file to the root of your project directory. This is a text file with one line per check. Empty lines and lines starting with `#` are ignored.
