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

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.

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:

Sounds good, I'll make an alternative version using bars.

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?
