dns-prefetch fonts.googleapis.com

I use a service called SiteImprove to check for broken links and scripts (among other things), and on every page that uses GeneratePress, it brings up an error for the URL http://fonts.googleapis.com.
Looking in the source, I see this:
<link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//fonts.googleapis.com'>
as well as the specific stylesheet for the custom font I'm using.
The Google font in question IS coming up correctly, but the call to the API is being considered a broken link. Is there a theme issue, or (probably what's going on) does SiteImprove just have trouble with that URL because it's an API call? What do you think?
I think it's most likely just SiteImprove not recognizing the URL as correct. It could be because http or https is omitted (intentionally).
It shouldn't be anything to worry about :)
Pretty much figured. :) I'll add it to the list of blocked URLs so it won't come up again. :) Thanks
No problem :)
Hi,
i just checked my GeneratePress-Website with http://validator.w3.org/checklink
and got the same Error like morriscountynj.
And if you try to load fonts.googleapis.com like here: <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//fonts.googleapis.com' /> there is an 404 Error.
Maybe it is not a tragedy ... What do you think?
Thanks for your help.

PS: This Link works, so maybe there is no Problem :)
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans
I think it's probably just a false negative :)
