I'm building http://rocketvalidator.com - an automated web crawler to help in detecting accessibility and HTML issues on large sites.

jaimeiniesta··on Show HN: Rocket Validator, automated site-wide HTML validation for large sites
Hello, I'm the creator of Rocket Validator - it's a subscription-based service, but there's a free demo you can try, no signup required.

Some parts of it are open sourced:

https://github.com/sitevalidator/funchaku

Thanks!

I'm using it as a beta user, and I find it really helpful.

I used to do this kind of things with a spreadsheet, but this tool automates it and gives you nice charts.

jaimeiniesta··on Site-wide markup validation (as a service)
What this service does is, given a starting URL, scrapes the site in search for internal pages, validates them all using the W3C validator and gives back a report with all the common errors and warnings found, as well as detailed reports.

Here is an example report: https://www.w3clove.com/sitemaps/check?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvali...

Thanks Mike, I've updated the charts. It really looks better as a bar chart:

jaimeiniesta··on Top validation errors
Sounds good, I'll make an alternative version using bars.
jaimeiniesta··on Top validation errors
sure, it's the arrows. Should this be done with characters, instead? Maybe CSS? This would be indeed a good case of using "alt"... alt="vote up", alt="vote down"

It's interesting to see the validation for Hacker News:

You wouldn't tell there were so many images, would you? Should they have an "alt" attribute?

jaimeiniesta··on Top validation errors
yeah I too agree that the "alt" attribute should not be considered an error. Maybe just a warning.

There's a separate chart for the top 100 warnings:
