Click To Use HTML Validation Tool

Most documents on the Web are written in a computer language called HTML. This language can be used to create pages with structured information, links, and multimedia objects.

W3C offers a Markup Validator for HTML and XHTML and is also a free service that helps check the validity of Web documents. Most Web documents are written using markup languages, such as HTML or XHTML.

Why should you do this?

1. Allows your site to be accessible to a larger audience (vision impaired, motor skill impaired, cognitive impaired)

2. Search engine friendly pages - clean and simple code enables search engines to spider your pages more quickly and completely.

3. Faster Loading - if your web page contains html errors it will take a longer time for the search engines to spider it, therefore slowing the loading time. If your page doesn’t load in under 10 seconds your visitors may click away to your competitors’ sites.

4. Easier to update and maintain web site - with no mistakes in your html code it is easier and faster to make changes to your web pages.

5. Browser compatibility - validated code ensures your site is compatible with the current browsers and future browsers.

6. Access more visitors - if you ensure your web pages appear correctly in all the major browsers you will be able to reach a larger audience which then increases the potential of your site to make more sales.
