Screaming Frog Content Showing charset=UTF-8

[seoessentials]

I am running a site through Screaming Frog and many of the pages under "Content" are reading text/html; charset=UTF-8. Does this harm ones SEO and what does this really mean? I'm running his site along with this competitors and the competitors seems very clean with content pages reading text/html.

What does one do to change this if it is a negative thing?

Thank you

This is nothing to worry about at all.  UTF-8 is simply a type of character encoding and is set in the websites to instruct web browsers on how to interpret the character encoding.  See- http://screencast.com/t/s4I2RNsgqUh

As it's not negative and perfectly normal, there's no need to change it at all.
