About This Tool

Modern Static Analysis

While browsers are designed to be forgiving of malformed HTML, poorly structured markup can lead to layout shifts, SEO penalties, and serious accessibility barriers. This validator uses the HTMLHint engine to perform static analysis, catching problems before they reach your users.

We test for over 20 professional rules, including unique ID verification, tag pair matching, and correct attribute usage (like alt tags for images and aria roles for accessibility).

Why Use This Tool

Privacy-First Validation

Most online validators upload your markup to a server. Our tool runs **completely in your browser**. Your source code never leaves your device, making it safe to validate proprietary templates, internal dashboards, and sensitive web applications. It's fast, secure, and always ready for production development.

FAQ

What types of HTML errors does it detect?
It detects unclosed tags, incorrect nesting, invalid attributes, deprecated elements (like <center> or <font>), images without alt attributes, accessibility issues, and document structure errors.
Does it check accessibility (WCAG)?
Yes. It includes accessibility checks such as images without alt text, forms without labels, insufficient contrast, and interactive elements without proper ARIA roles.
Is my HTML code sent to a server?
No. All analysis and validation happens locally in your browser. Your code is never transmitted to any external service.
