About this SEO Factor:
4xx errors often point to a problem on a website. For example, if you have a broken link on a page, and visitors click it, they may see a 4xx error. It's important to regularly monitor and fix these errors, because they may have negative impact and lower your site's authority in users' eyes.
Issues with HTTP/HTTPS site versions
(Yes)
Your SSL certificate is invalid/untrusted - please make sure that your SSL certificate is installed correctly, hasn't expired yet and is issued by a trusted certificate authority.
About this SEO Factor:
Using secure encryption is highly recommended for many websites (for instance, those taking transactions and collecting sensitive user information.) However, in many cases, webmasters face technical issues when installing SSL certificates and setting up the HTTP/HTTPS versions of the website.
In case you're using an invalid SSL certificate (ex. untrusted or expired one), most Web browsers will prevent users from visiting your site by showing them an "insecure connection" notification.
If the HTTP and HTTPS versions of your website are not set properly, both of them can get indexed by search engines and cause duplicate content issues that may undermine your website rankings.

About this SEO Factor:
In most cases duplicate URLs are handled via 301 redirects. However sometimes, for example when the same product appears in two categories with two different URLs and both need to be live, you can specify which page should be considered a priority with the help of rel="canonical" tags. It should be correctly implemented within the <head> tag of the page and point to the main page version that you want to rank in search engines. Alternatively, if you can configure your server, you can indicate the canonical URL using rel="canonical" HTTP headers.
Pages with W3C HTML errors and warnings
(1 pages)
Some pages on your site have errors in HTML markup.
Search engine spiders find it easier to crawl through semantically correct markup, this is why site's HTML markup should be valid and free of errors. If for example, one of the tags has been left unclosed, the spiders may miss an entire chunk, thus reducing the value of the page.

CSS errors and warnings
10 errors
114 warnings
About this SEO Factor:
The validation is usually performed via the W3C Markup Validation Service (W3C stands for World Wide Web Consortium).
CSS styles are used to control the design and formatting of the page, and to separate styles from the structure, which ultimately makes the page load faster.
Errors in CSS may be not that important to search engines, but they can lead to your page being incorrectly displayed to visitors, which, in turn, may affect your conversion and bounce rates. So, make sure the page is displayed as intended across all browsers (including mobile ones) important to you.
Dofollow external links
(26 links)
There are dofollow links to other sites on the website.
Please, revise your followed links and make sure they point to high-quality, relevant pages. It's recommended to remove any links to pages of questionable quality or accompany them with rel="nofollow". To add the nofollow attribute to a link, simply write rel="nofollow" within the <a href> tag.
For instance: <a rel="nofollow" href="example.com">Example</a>.

About this SEO Factor:
Simply speaking, dofollow links are links missing the rel="nofollow" attribute. Such links are followed by search engines and pass PageRank (please note that links can also be restricted from following in bulk via the nofollow <meta> tag).
While there is nothing wrong with linking to other sites via dofollow links, if you link extensively to irrelevant or low-quality sites, search engines may conclude your site sells links or participates in other link schemes, and it can get penalized.
Broken links
(1 links)
There are some broken outgoing links on your website. This may result in poor user experience and signal to search engines that your site is neglected. Look through those links and fix them.

About this SEO Factor:
Broken outgoing links can be a bad quality signal to search engines and users. If a site has many broken links, they conclude that it has not been updated for some time. As a result, the site's rankings may be downgraded.
Although 1-2 broken links won't cause a Google penalty, try to regularly check your website, fix broken links (if any), and make sure their number doesn't go up. Besides, users will like your website more if it doesn't show them broken links pointing to non-existing pages.
Pages with excessive number of links
(1 pages)
There are pages on your site with more than 100 outgoing links. Check these pages and, if possible, decrease the number of outgoing links.

About this SEO Factor:
According to Matt Cutts (former head of Google's Webspam team), "...there's still a good reason to recommend keeping to under a hundred links or so: the user experience. If you're showing well over 100 links per page, you could be overwhelming your users and giving them a bad experience. A page might look good to you until you put on your "user hat" and see what it looks like to a new visitor." Although Google keeps talking about users experience, too many links on a page can also hurt your rankings. So the rule is simple: the fewer links on a page, the fewer problems with its rankings. So try to stick to the best practices and keep the number of outgoing links (internal and external) up to 100.

About this SEO Factor:
Every page should have a unique, keyword-rich title. At the same time, you should try to keep title tags concise. Titles that are longer than 55 characters get truncated by search engines and will look unappealing in search results. Even if your pages rank on page 1 in search engines, yet their titles are shortened or incomplete, they won't attract as many clicks as they would have driven otherwise.
