Dear GPP Majesties,

Hoping all is well on your side.

I am contacting you with regards to an endless list of errors and warnings related to your plugin, may I kindly ask for your help/support in troubleshooting/fixing this.

Listed as follows:
-/- Errors:

I look forward to furthering assistance over this matter as its alarming the amount of code seen in the report. I am not a developer, just a business owner with hands-on the development and needing to curate the site and launch fairly soon (ASAP!).

Please help, we want our site to be indexed properly as a lot of efforts and care has been put on to this project.

With kind regards,
Jose @ The Croydon Rugs Development Team

Hi Jose,

the warnings being displayed are related to vendor extensions. They are required for backwards compatibility in the older browsers. The default setting in the W3 CSS validator is for CSS Level 3, which no longer uses these, hence they are being flagged.

If you want, you can check the More Options and set the Profile to CSS Level 1 and re-run the test. You will only see a handful of warnings now which will most likely be related to flexbox, which wasn’t around when CSS Level 1 was drawn up.

In short they are false positives

I hope this helps

Hi David,

Don’t know how many times may I show appreciation for your time and these insightful responses.

Just for saying, my website loads in less than 3s, that was my goal and the reason to choose GPP, but I need to say “again” the support is really good, you guys rock, thanks a lot.

All the best!

Glad to be of help!
