    Hello @davideambrami & @grayloon,

    Thanks for using Yoast SEO. The issue is caused by an empty?whitespace or a blank line which appears due to a conflict with another plugin or your theme. Usually, there is an empty space or a blank line before or after the closing PHP opening or closing tag, which shouldn’t be there.

    You can narrow down the exact source of conflict by performing a conflict check. Once you have identified whether your theme or a plugin causes the issue, please contact the developers of that theme or plugin for assistance in finding and removing the white space.
