Charset declaration

Checks if the charset (UTF-8) is correctly declared.

Pourquoi est-ce important ?

Without a charset declaration, browsers can misinterpret characters, leading to "mojibake" (garbled characters). This is especially a problem with special characters and non-Latin scripts.

Comment le corriger ?

Add <meta charset="UTF-8"> as the first element in <head>, before the title tag. Also make sure your server sends Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 in response headers.

Ce check note de 0 à 100. Sous 50 c’est un échec, 50 à 89 un avertissement, 90 ou plus c’est bon. Après chaque crawl vous voyez la note par page dans le rapport, avec une courte explication.
