About ValidateHTML

ValidateHTML is a free online tool that helps developers, designers, and content creators validate their HTML and CSS code against modern web standards and best practices.

Why We Built This

Writing clean, valid code is fundamental to building accessible, SEO-friendly, and cross-browser compatible websites. Yet many existing validators feel outdated or overly complex. We wanted to create a fast, modern, and developer-friendly tool that makes validation effortless.

What We Check

  • HTML5 specification compliance
  • CSS syntax and property validation
  • Missing or incorrect attributes
  • Deprecated elements and attributes
  • Incorrect tag nesting
  • Accessibility issues (alt text, heading hierarchy, ARIA)
  • Best practices and code quality

Our Quality Score

Every validation produces a quality score from 0 to 100, with a letter grade (A through F). Each error deducts 10 points and each warning deducts 3 points.

Privacy

Your code is processed on our servers for validation and is not stored, logged, or shared. See our Privacy Policy for details.
