Will the HTML error checker catch all errors?

The checker catches spec-defined errors — structural, syntactic, and attribute errors. It does not check visual rendering or JavaScript-related issues.

What happens if I deploy HTML with errors?

Most browsers will still render pages with minor HTML errors by using their error-recovery algorithms. However, errors can cause unexpected layout differences across browsers and may prevent assistive technologies from parsing your page correctly.

Real-world examples

Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:

Quality gate before CMS publication

Before publishing HTML content in a CMS, paste it into the error checker to ensure no errors were introduced during editing.

Debugging cross-browser rendering inconsistencies

When a page renders differently in Safari than Chrome, the HTML error checker often reveals invalid markup that each browser handles differently.

When to use this guide

Use this as a routine quality gate before any HTML goes into production, a shared repository, or a CMS.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

Errors vs warnings — both matter

Errors are spec violations that must be fixed. Warnings indicate patterns that work now but may break in future versions or cause accessibility issues.

Check HTML fragments too

Validate HTML components and fragments, not just complete pages. An error in a component can be included in many pages.

Automate error checking in CI

For production sites, consider adding an HTML validation step to your CI pipeline so errors are caught before deployment, not after.
