HTML issues tagged as footer.
The <footer> element represents a footer for its nearest sectioning content, and has an implicit role of contentinfo, so specifying this role is redundant.
The following example marks a <div> as a footer specifying its role:
<div role="contentinfo">
<h2>Footer</h2>
<!-- footer content -->
</div>
Using the <footer> element instead is recommended:
<footer>
<h2>Footer</h2>
<!-- footer content -->
</footer>Lear more:

A <footer> can’t include other <footer>s inside.
The footer element represents a footer for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A footer typically contains information about its section such as who wrote it, links to related documents, copyright data, and the like.
