You've told browsers and search engines what language your page is in, but the code you used isn't standard. This can confuse them, potentially hurting your SEO and causing issues for screen readers that help visually impaired users. It's a simple fix that makes your site more accessible to everyone.
Using an incorrect or non-standard language code.
<html lang="eng"> <!-- 'eng' is not a valid code -->Use the standard two-letter ISO 639-1 code for the language. For regional variations, add the country code.
<html lang="en"> <!-- For English -->
<html lang="en-GB"> <!-- For British English -->Standard language codes are universally understood by browsers, search engines, and assistive technologies. This ensures your content is correctly processed and delivered to the right audience.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
