The scan disregards any <meta> elements in the spellcheck. Misspellings in the meta description are not identified by the scan. These need to be checked manually for spelling errors.
Note

Turn on the Use Language Attribute function in domain configuration to avoid this. For more information, visit Add, edit, or remove domains.
