Fixes #76
Removes the
relattribute from thea-tagExplanations:
There is no "noindex" value for the rel HTML attribute.
The nofollow attribute was used in the past to tell search engines to simply ignore a link. Google would not crawl these links and did not pass value through them. Their treatment of nofollow links changed in 2020 and now it’s more complicated. They treat nofollow as a hint, which means they can choose to crawl and pass value through them, or not.
Noreferrer is related to analytics and tracking. The referrer value shows the previous page where a user came from. By using the noreferrer attribute on a link, you are preventing other pages from seeing that traffic came from a click on your link.
→ Some APIs do validate the referer to access a file and so we can remove that value.
