Validate your website
topIntroduction
Total Validator is a free one-stop all-in-one validator comprising a HTML validator, an accessibility validator, a spelling validator, a broken links validator, and the ability to take screenshots with different browsers to see what your web pages really look like.
Since its release in 2005 Total Validator has become extremely popular with Web developers around the world. Over a million pages a year are validated using the online service. Many more millions of validations are performed using the desktop tool, of which over a quarter of a million copies have been downloaded. Yet we only receive a few emails each year from users with real problems showing just how reliable and accurate the service is.
Some of the top sites in the world are now validated using the Pro desktop tool, so why not join them today?
Total Validator provides the following main features:
- A parser that validates the basic construction of your pages
- True HTML validation against the W3C Markup Specifications or ISO/IEC definition using the published DTDs and standards: (2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.01, 5, ISO/IEC, XHTML 1.0, 1.1 and 5, XHTML Basic 1.0, 1.1, XHTML+RDFa, XHTML-Print)
- An accessibility validator that validates against the W3C Web Accessibility Guidelines (1.0 and 2.0) and US Section 508 Standard
- A broken links validator that checks each page for broken links
- A spelling validator that spell checks the content of your pages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, German)
- Snapshots (screenshots) of your pages in different browsers, on different platforms, at different resolutions
- A desktop tool so you can validate pages before you publish, and pages behind firewalls
- A Firefox extension for fast, one click validation
