Consider Using JSON-LD for Schema.org Implementation

Metadata Analyzer

What is this warning?

This is an informational warning. Your page is using an older method called Microdata to add structured data. While this is still valid, Google and most of the SEO community now recommend using JSON-LD. JSON-LD is generally easier to implement and manage because it separates the structured data from the HTML, reducing the chance of errors.

How to Fix This Issue

Recommendation

The Current Method (Microdata)

<div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Product">
  <span itemprop="name">My Product</span>
</div>

The Recommended Method (JSON-LD)

Consider migrating your structured data to a single JSON-LD script block in the <head>.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "My Product"
}
</script>

Why This is Recommended

JSON-LD is Google's preferred format. It's less intrusive to your HTML, easier to debug, and more flexible, making it the modern standard for implementing structured data.
