I am using the popular SEO software Brightedge at my company and it is telling me for over 2k+ pages that there is “No HTML4 or XHTML1 validation”. Im not sure what this error means. Hoping someone can help me. I do use the doctype tag in the beginning of every HTML page. I am also using PHP to generate a header template for each page.

  1. This tool might be using w3c validation for your html pages. One of the page’s html (complete) at http://validator.w3.org/ and see what you getting there.

  2. This is an important error! It is discovering pages that need to be updated to the latest version of HTML (Currently HTML5). An unlikely error if you are utilizing a common CMS like WordPress, or Shopify, but could be an old custom site or another stack that has not been updated.
