HTML Guide for script
The combination of type="module" and defer is not allowed. The type="module" attribute itself implies that the script should be executed in a deferred way, hence using the defer attribute is unnecessary and invalid.
Steps to Fix the Issue:
- Remove the defer Attribute: When you use type="module", you should not include the defer attribute since module scripts defer automatically.
Incorrect Code:
<script type="module" defer src="example.js"></script>Corrected Code:
<script type="module" src="example.js"></script>The <script> tag allows authors to include dynamic scripts and data blocks in their documents. When the src is present, this tag accepts a type attribute which must be either:
- an empty string
- text/javascript (that’s the default, so it can be omitted)
- module
Examples:
<!-- This is valid, without a type it defaults to JavaScript -->
<script src="app.js"></script>
<!-- This is valid, but will warn that it can be omitted -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
<!-- An empty attribute is valid, but will warn that it can be omitted -->
<script type="" src="app.js"></script>
<!-- The module keyword is also valid as a type -->
<script type="module" src="app.js"></script>
<!-- Any other type is invalid -->
<script type="wrong" src="app.js"></script>
<script type="text/html" src="app.js"></script>
<script type="image/jpeg" src="app.js"></script>The value rocketlazyloadscript used in a <script> tag is not a valid one according to the HTML specification. It is introduced by the WP Rocket Wordpress extension.
The async attribute is boolean: the presence of a boolean attribute on an element represents the true value, and the absence of the attribute represents the false value. As a boolean attribute, it does not need to be passed any value such as true or 1 to activate the async property.
For classic scripts, if the async attribute is present, then the classic script will be fetched in parallel to parsing and evaluated as soon as it is available.
For module scripts, if the async attribute is present then the scripts and all their dependencies will be executed in the defer queue, therefore they will get fetched in parallel to parsing and evaluated as soon as they are available.
<script async src="app.js"></script>
<script async type="module">
/* JavaScript module code here */
</script>The specified type for an script element is not a valid MIME type as it’s missing a subtype.
A MIME type most-commonly consists of just two parts: a type and a subtype, separated by a slash (/) — with no whitespace between, for example:
text/javascriptThe async and defer boolean attributes of the <script> element control how an external script should be executed once it has been downloaded. The async attribute makes sense when an external script (defined with the src attribute) is loaded, or when defining a script of type module:
<script async src="app.js"></script>
<script async type="module">
/* JavaScript module code here */
</script>The charset attribute on a <script> element can be used to specify the character encoding of an external script, whose URL should be specified on the src attribute.
If the script is not external, then the charset attribute should not be used, as the character encoding of the HTML document will be used.
The defer and async boolean attributes of the <script> element control how an external script should be executed once it has been downloaded. These attributes only make sense when referring to external scripts, so a src attribute must also be present to specify the location of the script.
Example:
<script defer src="app.js"></script>If your script is not external, and is inlined within the HTML document, then you should remove the defer attribute, like in this example:
<script>
console.log("hello");
</script>A <script> start tag has been found in an unexpected place in the document structure. Check that the <script> section appears within the <head> or <body> sections.
Here’s an example of a script inserted in the head of the document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script>
console.log("Hello from the head");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>A <script> element has been found that is using the now obsolete charset attribute. You can safely remove this attribute.
For example, this is using both type and charset attributes, with their default values. Both can be removed:
<script src="app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"></script>and just use this:
<script src="app.js"></script>The <script> tag allows authors to include dynamic scripts and data blocks in their documents. This tag accepts two optional attributes, type (which is unnecessary if it’s JavaScript, as that’s the default), and src to indicate the URL of the external script to use.
The language attribute is now obsolete and should not be used.
The default type for <script> tags is JavaScript, so you don’t need to include the type for JS resources.
