This badge relies on https://validator.nu/ which is currently taking a really long time to load so we're timing out here https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/38c1e2df168aac96c2a77b8960d074694c5a6a8b/core/server/server.js#L521-L530 I don't think there's anything we can do here - the issue is with the upstream service. Hopefully it will recover at some point
