First, you can open the issue by clicking on that row and learn more about it and how to fix it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"718\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fix_seo_issue.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fix_seo_issue.png 718w, https:\/\/www.sheerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fix_seo_issue-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you finished correcting the issue, it should not show up next time we check that page. But if you want to remove that issue right away, you can use the actions on the right column:<br>1. Press &#8220;mark as fixed&#8221; (middle action), so we will not show this issue. But on the next scan of this page, if we find this issue is still there, we will show it again.<br>2. Press &#8220;recrawl page&#8221; (left action) to crawl the page now. If we find the issue fixed we will remove the indication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last action is the &#8220;ignore&#8221; (right action). It means that you don&#8217;t want to receive this indication. This could be that you don&#8217;t think it is worth the time, or you don&#8217;t think this is a valid indication. It will not show ever again, so be careful with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Issues_by_Page\"><\/span>Issues by Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also see all the issues by page and get some more info on that page.
