Enfold Theme compared with other SEO Themes

You dont honestly think i am relying on the word of one person who hasnt updated their plugin (although i am sure it would only get updated if it needed to be)

I am already using yoast and smush it and hummingbird and w3cache and loads of other things which are giving me a rating in the 90s with GT Metric but googles own pages are still giving me problems.

I have run through the official W3C Validator and these are the errors that it found :

Please forgive me if i am wrong, i am still learning, but From what i can see these are source code issues that have been there a long time but now google is penalising sites for not being up to scratch.

Please tell me how i go about fixing this issues.
surely if i change anything in the source it will get overwritten in the next update – wouldn’t it be better if these things were addressed for everyones benefit?
