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