Description

The WordPress downloads counter has a json output here:

​https://wordpress.org/download/counter/?json=1

The MIME type on that is text/html and because of that Google is throwing warnings for it. I'd suggest:

  • Setting the MIME type to application/json
  • Adding a canonical link header like this: 
Link: <https://wordpress.org/download/counter/>; rel="canonical"
