The main objective of this paper is to answer the questions posed by Robinson and Sadowski [22, p. 505, Commun. Math. Phys., 2010] for the Navier–Stokes equations. Firstly, we prove that the upper box dimension of the potential singular points set $\mathcal {S}$ of suitable weak solution $u$ belonging to $L^{q}(0,T;L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{3}))$ for $1\leq \frac {2}{q}+\frac {3}{p}\leq \frac 32$ with $2\leq q<\infty$ and $2< p<\infty$ is at most $\max \{p,q\}(\frac {2}{q}+\frac {3}{p}-1)$ in this system. Secondly, it is shown that $1-2s$ dimension Hausdorff measure of potential singular points set of suitable weak solutions satisfying $u\in L^{2}(0,T;\dot {H}^{s+1}(\mathbb {R}^{3}))$ for $0\leq s\leq \frac 12$ is zero, whose proof relies on Caffarelli–Silvestre's extension. Inspired by Barker–Wang's recent work [1], this further allows us to discuss the Hausdorff dimension of potential singular points set of suitable weak solutions if the gradient of the velocity is under some supercritical regularity.
