Voiceover saying "Space" frequently in some web pages

Have someone else noticed an issue with Voiceover when visiting some pages with Safari and in the middle of a sentence Voiceover saying the word "Space" without any reason? For example I can't visit any page in Wikipedia without hearing the word "Space" several times in a paragraph. I haven't found any reason for this. If I read character by character I get the announcement for every space between words as it is expected, but in a continuous reading of the text, the word pop out without any logical reason.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Might be worth looking at voiceover settings verbosity and the sub heading, text, and see if you have either repeated spaces or indents set to be spoken,.

Thanks Oliver for the tip. It was the Line Indentation option the one causing the issue.
