Decryption error

On some pages I am getting an error about "Decryption error" What can be the problem?
When an encrypted ASPS web page fails to decrypt, it is because there is an error on the web page:
Wrongly placed ASPS tag
The ASPS tag must be the first line of HTML sent to the web browser. Nothing at all can appear before it and it must be on a line of its own. Some badly written CMS plugins, like those for WordPress, spew code all over the place when injecting into HTML and often the JavaScript can be inserted before all other HTML.
Missing Content-Type declaration
Without a Content-Type declaration, the ASPS module has no language setting. While some believe that the new shortened tag should suffice, we recommend using the full tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Unclosed HTML tags
This shoudn't be an issue, but check that there are no unclosed tags. DreamWeaver and Frontpage can be useful tools for highlighting HTML syntax errors.
WC3 Standard
The WC3 Standard is the code by which web pages have been designed since the beginning of the Internet. What might work in web browsers like Chrome, which has been designed to exploit privacy and security, is not a good example.
Mixed Content
"Mix content" flags may be raised when displaying a web page via SSL (https://) while some content on the page such as images and scripts are using non-SSL (http://) calls. Mixed content raises flags because it can be a pretext to cross-site scripting which poses security risks.
