It does already as long as you give it a document with the doctype
<!DOCTYPE html> instead of an obsolete doctype such as the HTML4 doctype.

So in https://primes.utm.edu/nthprime/ you should remove this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

and just replace it with this:

<!DOCTYPE html>

If you do that and use https://validator.w3.org/ the validation request
will get automatically redirected to https://validator.w3.org/nu/
