Stray end tag head.
An body start tag seen but an element of the same type was already open.
Cannot recover after last error. Any further errors will be ignored.

Federico,
Great to see you my friend. I believe you are 100% correct there needs to be a lot of things inside the wrappers of the header.
As far as fixing the issues with the site throughout the 3 questions you've asked I am yet to going to weigh in on the 3rd one however if you're building a website unless you're going to hire a developer.
I strongly suggest you subscribe to a tool called team treehouse I use it, and I could not be happier.
below is a validator called unicorn that takes a look at your code
if I can make some suggestions I strongly recommend getting an HTML editor the crème de la crème is Adobe's Dreamweaver however that might be a little heavy for some people.
There are some excellent HTML editors if you Google them or if you like simply check out
or some text editors that are designed for HTML
Text Editors
Text editors are often a matter of personal preference. Try installing some other text-editors and see which one you like best. Here's a list to get you started.
- TextMate - Mac only with free trial available. This text-editor is similar to Sublime Text.
- Notepad++ Windows only and free to use. It's similar to Notepad (which is included with Windows) but has some more advanced features.
- Codekit - Mac only with free trial available. Includes support for more advanced frameworks and templating languages like Less, Sass, Stylus, Coffeescript, and more.
- Vim - This text-editor is very powerful but also difficult to learn. It's intended for advanced programmers.
I went and ran your site through Internet marketing ninjas crawl test and found some issues
here is an example of what a header when constructed correctly looks like

When you look at this and see the giant header that is what the problem is. I can help you clean up your header. I apologize that I just had some technical issues when I had recently replied. And you asked for help but there no longer stopping me from answering so.
if you look at the same URL that you posted however use the show outline and summary
you have a lot of issues stemming from the structure of your HTML.
To start out the cannot parts I have underlined and below the header or outside of the header
for instance I got the information that is pasted below here
this is your header there are certain things that belong in it
it starts with and ends with
the Apple viewport tags that you have pasted in our outside of the header
here's some information showing that those tags need to be inside of the header wrappers

Website server errors
I launched a new website at www.cheaptubes.com and had recovered my search engine rankings as well after penguin & panda devestation. I'm was continuing to improve the site Sept 26th by adding caching of images and W3 cache but moz analytics is now saying I went from 288 medium issues to over 600 and i see the warning "45% of site pages served 302 redirects during the last crawl". I'm not sure how to fix this? I'm on WP using Yoast SEO so all the 301's I did are 301's not 302's. I do have SSL, could it be Http vs Https? I've asked this question before and two very nice people replied with suggestions which I tried to implement but couldn't, i got the WP white screen of death several times. They suggested the code below. Does anyone know how to implement this code or some other way to reduce the errors I'm getting? I've asked this at stackoverflow with no responses. "you have a lot of http & https issues so you should fix these with a bit of .htaccess code, as below. RewriteEngine On
On-Page Optimization | | cheaptubes
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] You also have some non-www to www issues. You can fix these in .htaccess at the same time... RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] You should find this fixes a lot of your issues. Also check in your Wordpress general settings that the site is set to www.cheaptubes.com for both instances." When I tried to do as they suggested it gave me an internal server error. Please see the code below from .htaccess and the server error. I took it out for now. BEGIN WordPress <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule> END WordPress Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@cheaptubes.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Strange error on my website
Hi Wondering if anyone could help out here please. I tried to crawl my website using screaming frog and got a 500 error warning (odd considering it worked yesterday). I tried google speed test and got the following message - PageSpeed Insights received a 500 response from the server. To analyze pages behind firewalls or that require authentication. However, it also crawled the site and gave me a score of 70/100. It showed the site thumbnail, as normal. This was updated this morning and it showed the latest one so must have crawled. I can access the site, as can my 'people', the site is getting hits from real users in Google Analytics so must be working. Am very puzzled how the site can be working and not be working at the same time! If possible i would rather not share the url. The site is a test of concept and is very messy looking. it is more a test to see what happens if i do x... Many thanks Carl

WordPress image urls - need a WP maven
We were having a conversation re urls that are indexed for images that are stored in various media plugins in WP. My question for anyone who is an uberWP person is: What is your opinion re best media storage plugins and how these URLs affect pages on a site for ranking, etc. I realize this is broad, but it is driven out of my concern that I cannot touch everything. When I see a url like this: http://www.drumbeatmarketing.net/wp-content/themes/drumbeat2/img/DB-LOGO-White.png I know there is no way with all the sites and clients we handle that I can get it perfect but this just bugs me for some reason. Should I just chill since it (seemingly) affects so little....?

Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization | Help needed
I just ran a grade report for one of my niche websites and I can't seem to fix the following issue: Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization
On-Page Optimization | | severtservice
Easy fix Cannibalizing link "Buikspieroefeningen voor thuis en een lager gewicht" and "Buikspieroefeningen voor thuis" Explanation It's a best practice in SEO to target each keyword with a single page on your site (sometimes two if you've already achieved high rankings and are seeking a second, indented listing). To prevent engines from potentially seeing a signal that this page is not the intended ranking target and creating additional competition for your page, we suggest staying away from linking internally to another page with the target keyword(s) as the exact anchor text. Note that using modified versions is sometimes fine (for example, if this page targeted the word 'elephants', using 'baby elephants' in anchor text would be just fine). Recommendation Unless there is intent to rank multiple pages for the target keyword, it may be wise to modify the anchor text of this link so it is not an exact match. -- Well, I've tried really everything (I believe) but this issue is not going away.
Could anyone help me out with this? My site = www.debuikspieroefeningenvoorthuis.nl Thanks!

On-Page Optimization | | joshcanhelp
http://domain.com/index.cfm I know how to set this in Google Analytics but how would I make sure this isn't seen as an error? It's accounting for both a duplicate title and duplicate content. Thanks!0
