Chapter 18. Web Aerobics: Tuning Up Your Site

In This Chapter

  • Validating your HTML

  • Finding broken links

  • Fine-tuning your site

Making Web pages is pretty easy, but the one thing that many people overlook is that about a hundred zillion things can go wrong with them. Even if your Web pages work perfectly on your favorite Web browser, they may not work on all browsers. Even if all your links are functional, some of the sites they’re aimed at will go down or out. Even if you have great graphics on your site, they may slow down your page load so much that nobody is willing to wait for them to download.

So this chapter takes a look at several tools that make your pages work. Here’s a sampling of what these tools can do for you:

Examine your HTML code for errors: These tools point out errors or possible problem areas.
Find broken links: You can use programs that follow all your links for you and let you know which ones are working right and which are broken.
Check spelling: Some handy tools make shoor yore spelling things rite.

Don’t miss this tour — your visitors will appreciate what these tools can do for your site.
