just doe a a search for w3C validator and enter in your URL… do not be scared to see a few hundred issues
The W3C Markup Validation Service
also check speed with WebPagetest – Website Performance and Optimization Test
You can also try some extensions offered in Chrome for free. They are convenient because you don’t have to go to any particular site, unually just checking with a command within the browser.
I use the W3c HTML Validator add-on for Fire Fox. Once installed,
You visit your site or page and then from the FF ToolBar, select Tools > Web Developer > Page SourceThe source file opens in the top pane while the validation errors in the bottom pane.
I then click “Type” in the validation errors (bottom) pane to sort the errors by type.
You can click on an error and its highlighted in the top pane (source).Errors like ‘entity’ can be ingnored but I do use it to to find open tags and missing attributes like ALT for example.
for example – heaven4casinos
first error is at line 16 (that should be type= and not tyle=)

I’ll use a couple, Brokenlinkcheck.com to scan for broken links & Copyscape.com to check for duplicate content.

What website do you all use to check a website for mistakes, improvements and all?
Also what is W3C or something? How do I get this done good?
Xenu is a pretty decent little tool for checking broken backlinks and 404s. Its a freebie download btw.
All great, thanks a lot guys! Anybody know how to expand the cash time, or expire time, that’s the main error I get overall.
that is getting into server level changes.. or possibly some .htaccess mods to force cache/ header expires..
try this
in your root .htaccess file
Header unset ETag
FileETag None[php]
# 2 HOURS
Header set Cache-Control “max-age=7200, must-revalidate”
Header set Cache-Control “public”
Header set Expires “Thu, 15 Apr 2015 20:00:00 GMT”
[/php]
