Error after scanning with browseo.net

[AlexElks]

Good day!

I have done a scan on my site with browseo.net ( and a few other similar scanners ) and got the mess seen in the screenshot.

I've tried deleting all the files in the website folder, replace it with a single image file, but it still shows the same error.

What could this mean and should i be worried?

P.S

Found my answer after contacting the helpful support of browseo.net :

It took me some time to figure out what was going on, but it seems as if you are mixing content types. Browsers are quite smart when it comes to interpreting the contents, so they are much more forgiving than we are.

Browseo crawls your website and detects that you are setting utf-8 as part of the meta information. By doing so, it converts the content in a different character encoding then what they are supposed to be. In a quick test, I tried to fetch the content type based on the response object, but without any success. So I am suspecting that in reality your content is not utf-8 encoded when you parse it into joomla. The wrong character type is then carried over for the body (which explains why we can still read the header information).  All of this explains the error.

In order for it to work in browseo, you’d have to set the content type correctly, or convert your own content into utf-8 before parsing. It may be that you are either storing this incorrectly in the database (check your db settings for a different content type other than utf-8) or that other settings are a bit messed up. The good news is, that google is probably interpreting your websites correctly, so you won’t be punished for this, but perhaps something to look into…

Is the link to an image? If so, that is the cause. Try uploading a simple html page--should work.
