Deprecated HTML
Your site uses <font>, <center>, table layouts, and other HTML relics from 20 years ago.
Quick Answer
To fix deprecated HTML, replace <font> tags with CSS font-family and color properties, replace <center> with CSS text-align, and convert table-based layouts to CSS flexbox or grid. Also ensure your page starts with <!DOCTYPE html> for HTML5 standards mode.
The Problem
HTML elements like <font>, <center>, <frameset>, and table-based layouts were deprecated in HTML4 (1999) and removed in HTML5. They indicate a site that hasn't been rebuilt in over a decade.
Why It Matters
Deprecated HTML triggers browser quirks mode, breaks on mobile devices, is inaccessible to screen readers, and signals to search engines that the site is severely outdated. It's often unfixable without a complete rebuild.
How to Fix It
View your page source and search for <font, <center, <frameset, and <table elements used for layout.
Replace <font> with CSS: font-family, color, and font-size properties.
Replace <center> with CSS: text-align: center or margin: 0 auto.
Convert table-based layouts to CSS flexbox or grid.
Ensure your document starts with <!DOCTYPE html> for HTML5 mode.
