 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"
 }}}
