admin

As you probably know already, it’s important to check and test your Website to help ensure that it looks great and works beautifully regardless of the browser or platform used. Testing a website before launch is one thing that you cannot afford to take lightly. Just like a minor negligence while constructing a building can cost life of millions of residents , the same way a small error left unnoticed can prove to be fatal for your website.

Therefore, this implies that we must run our website through all necessary tests. This includes CSS Errors, HTML Errors, Cross browsing Errors, WAP Errors (if your site is WAP enabled) and various other tests.Below is the list of Online Tools for Website Validation and Testing. So make it sure that you go through this post and run all the necessary tests on your website before making it live.

Validation tools

1.W3C markup validation service

This validator checks the markup validity of Web documents in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc. This is an exclusive standards check for the document, so other checks are not available.

  2. Source code – Yes

2.CSS validator

Check Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and (X)HTML documents with style sheets.The important thing is if you want to validate your CSS style sheet embedded in an (X)HTML document, you should first check that the (X)HTML you use is valid.

3.Checklink

Check links and anchors in Web pages or full Web sites.This Link Checker looks for issues in links, anchors and referenced objects in a Web page, CSS style sheet, or recursively on a whole Web site.

7.HTML Validator

The WDG HTML Validator is similar in many ways to the W3C HTML Validation Service. Most of the previous differences between the two validators have disappeared with recent development of the W3C validator. The errors reported are the same in virtually all cases.

8.Dr. Watsons site validation check

Dr. Watson is a free service to analyze your web page on the Internet. Just give the URL of your page and Watson will get a copy of it directly from the web server. Watson can also check out many other aspects of your site, including link validity, download speed, search engine compatibility, and link popularity.

  3. Word counts Yes
  4. Spelling checks Yes
  5. Link checking – Yes
