Multiple Body Tags
What This Means
The document contains more than one <body> element. Only the first body is treated as the document body by HTML parsers; content within subsequent body tags is interpreted as regular body content.
Why It Matters for SEO
Multiple body tags typically result from a template that includes a closing </body> and opening <body> where they should not appear — for example, a template partial that wraps its content in complete HTML document structure when included within an existing document. This is always a template structural bug.
What the Platform Checks
Counts <body> elements. Fires when count > 1.
How to Fix It
Identify which template component is generating the extra body element. Remove the extra <body> and </body> tags. Template partials should never include a full document structure — only the HTML specific to that component.
