Why HTML entities gets crawled as content keywords in Google search console?

[Jenifer30]

My Google search console shows HTML parameters such as div, class, img, src, gif, align as content keywords, but why google crawls HTML parameters as keywords? because of this, I would be losing traffic for my on-page content keywords.

Please let me know how to solve this.

Thanks,

Jenifer

Hi Jenifer,

Very hard to say without being able to take a look at the site. If you're comfortable dropping a link here I can take a closer look for you?

Hi Jenifer,

This is an interesting one and I honestly can't figure out what's going on here. Could there be some section(s) of the site that have been obscured that maybe I can't see but Google is picking up?

There are quite a few problems I found in a quick skim of the HTML which might be the problem but honestly this is grasping at straws. It's something I would definitely recommend fixing for separate reasons. See if it makes any difference to this problem but I doubt it will.

An example of what I've noticed:

_widht="100%">

This report from W3C highlights a bunch of others, though not all of them. This report is mostly a red flag that the HTML could do with some attention to tidy up and get more functional._
