    My Q is about validator warnings and errors on the site.

    I was informed that those errors cause lower rankings on Google. We used to be in Top 3, now we are on the second page of Google.

    We have analysed our site and found warnings and errors ( sent the links to validator below)

    Could you analyse our site and repair those errors?

    Thank you

    Hi traductio!

    As far as I know w3c validation has no effect on SEO. By being more compatible with browsers you will not have valid code often times and in the case of Enfold there are cases that will never validate because of this.

    In general though it will have no effect on your google rank. Yoast has a post on the issue as well: https://yoast.com/w3c-validation-seo/

    The gist is write clean code, fix major errors which Kriesi always does :)

    Best regards,
    Devin

    Thank you Devin!

    Could you please let me know what causes our lower ranking?

    We used to be in top 3 with our basic WP theme, after purchase of Enfold in April 2014, we are the last on the second page.

    Thanks!

    There is absolutely no way we could offer any input on an individual site ranking. I know that doesn’t leave you with anywhere to turn to try and find out but its way out of what we would even have any experience in covering.
