How often should I validate HTML?

Validate after every significant change and always before deployment. For active development, validate each new component or feature as it is built.

What should I check in HTML immediately before deploying?

Validate structure, check all images have alt attributes, confirm the ` ` and ` ` are present and accurate, verify canonical and Open Graph tags are set, and check that no debug attributes or comments exposing sensitive info remain in the code.

Real-world examples

Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:

Pre-launch quality review for a new website

Before launching a new website, validate every HTML page as part of the pre-launch checklist to ensure no structural errors reach live visitors or search engine crawlers.

Validating pages after a CMS update

CMS updates can alter HTML templates unexpectedly. Validate key pages after every significant CMS update before pushing to production.

When to use this guide

Use this as your final HTML quality gate before every production deployment, ensuring no structural or spec errors reach live users.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

Make validation a deployment checklist item

Add HTML validation to your pre-deployment checklist alongside performance, accessibility, and security checks. A validated HTML file takes less than a minute to confirm.

Validate all changed pages, not just new ones

A deployment that touches existing pages should validate those pages too. Edits to existing HTML can introduce new errors even in pages that were previously valid.

Zero errors before deploy

Aim for zero HTML validation errors before every deployment. Deploying known errors creates technical debt that compounds over time.
