Hi there,

Some of these might not be coming from GP.

Can you try disabling all non-GP plugins and do the test again to eliminate any plugin issues?

Thanks!

Okay, I'll do it now.

These are all type attribute warnings. WordPress itself still adds the type attributes to scripts and styles, so these warnings will be hard to get rid of.

Luckily, they should make zero difference to the rank of your website, as they aren't errors.

in this case there is no way to fix it?

Thanks for pointing this out Tom

Here is what John Mueller has to say about it early this year:

John Mueller tweet

You can't imagine how many 'SEO' experts query sites owners trying to scare them with the fear that these errors are causing their drop in the SERPs

The other SEO myth is that 404s will hurt you in the SERPs - that is also a big no. You literally can have millions of 404s and will not hurt your SERP rankings - it will hurt your user experience and if you have a super large site may affect your crawl quota - but the actual algo expects 404s as a normal part of the web

Interesting - thanks for sharing that with us! :)

Solved, thank you!

No problem :)
