I don't do much web surfing on my phone. So, I thought I would try the Familiar Applevis site. I use headings on the rotor to look at the list of posts. But, when I tap on a post to read it,The rotor goes back to characters and I have to select headings again. It's the same when I go back to the main page. Is that the way it's supposed to be?

Strange Behaviour
I find the behaviour you are describing to be quite strange. My experience is very different compared to yours. I'm running iOS 15.4 on an iPhone 12 Pro. If I set my router to headings it stays there even if I activate a link. I tend to keep my router on headings when navigating most sites and the router doesn't change on me.
I hate how Safari and mail act
I have the annoying bug of actions available after each email line read. Then I also have the jumps back to top when I click a link say in top tech tidbits. weird.
Heading navigation
I'm not sure why the Safari behavior is like that. My suggestion would be to create a custom gesture for heading navigation.
NOt sure what the Mail app has to do with Safari, but anyway. If you don't want "actions available" being spoken, go to Settings>Accessibility>VoiceOver>verbosity>Actions and set it to "do nothing".
Rotor and heading problems with Safari
I have the problem where the rotor switches from where I said it, especially if there's an image
I also find that navigating bye headings is inconsistent and will skip headings. It skips a different number going down then when going up.
I'm also finding many places where navigation gets stuck when flicking left or right.
Amazon is a good website to test things on.
The heading issue can also be seen when looking at your browser history. It should have a heading for each day. Sometimes it'll skip several days depending on which way you're moving.
I have reported some of these things to Apple Accessibility in the past. They've been around since iOS 14 or maybe even earlier.
