W3C validation for complete site [closed]

Question

I am working on a project where I have to validate the complete site, which has around 150 pages, through W3C Markup Validation. Is there a way to check W3C Markup Validation of an entire website?

Answer 1

I use this tool bulk w3c html validator to validate my entire website

http://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-w3c-validator.php

This tool uses W3c validator engine, you can check 500 urls at once.

Answer 2

The W3C doesn't offer this on w3.org.

http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-batchvalidation

But you can use this tool and check "Validate entire site": (Also w3.org refers to this site!)

• http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/

But you have a limit of 100 URLs to validate and will get this message when you reach 100 URLs:

Batch validation is limited to 100 URLs at one time. The remaining URLs were not checked.

Also there's a limit of errors displayed for each url.

Answer 3

The WDG offers two free solutions:

1. Validate entire site (select 'validate entire site')
2. Validate multiple URLs (batch)

Answer 4

You can run the validator yourself. As of 2018, W3C are using v.Nu for their validator, the code is at https://github.com/validator/validator/releases/latest and usage instructions are at https://validator.github.io/validator/#usage

For example, the following command will run it on all html files under the public_html directory:

java -jar vnu.jar --skip-non-html public_html
