HTML Validation

Why Validate Your HTML Code

If you’re just starting out writing HTML code, it’s very likely that you’ll make some mistakes. Writing incorrect or out-of-date code can affect how your page appears or works in your browser.

You can avoid this issue by testing or validating your HTML code according to the official guidelines and standards established by the W3C (Web3C).

The W3C provides an easy-to-use online tool (https://validator.w3.org/)) that automatically checks your HTML code for errors and issues, including missing closing tags and quotes around attributes.

Validating a Web Page

Web page validation is the process of making sure that a web page meets the standards or guidelines set by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), which is responsible for maintaining HTML standards.

There are several reasons why a web page needs to be validated, some of which include:

  • It enables cross-browser and cross-platform development of web pages. It is likely to work with the next generation of web browsers as well as web standards.
  • Web pages that meet standards are more visible to search engines and crawlers, so your web pages are more likely to show up in search results.
  • This will help to minimize mistakes and make your website more user-friendly.
 

Note: Validation is crucial. It will make sure that your web pages appear in the same format (how you want it) in different browsers, search engines, etc.
