Running a website is not an easy task, and there’s many aspects to take care of. Happily, the web is full of resources. So today, let’s have a look at 5 free online tools that can definitely help you to improve your website’s speed, accessibility, display, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google PageSpeed Insights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

s most of you already know, nowadays\u00a0mobile browsing has surpassed desktop browsing<\/a>. This is why the loading speed of your website is an extremely important factor of its general quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has created a tool that allows website owners to check how fast their websites are to load. There are countless sites which can help you to check your site speed and hence fix issues, such as\u00a0Pingdom<\/a>. The reason I prefer to use Google\u2019s is because the search engine considers website speed an important factor of quality, and the speed of your websites affects your rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W3C Validator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"While probably not a super important factor of quality anymore, valid code is a sign of a web developer who has an attention to detail and pride in their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invalid code doesn\u2019t affect your SEO, and most of the time, it won\u2019t make your user experience worse. But it has to have a balance: sure, 100% valid HTML isn\u2019t as important and \u201chyped\u201d that it was in 2009. But it still matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reference tool for checking the quality of your HTML markup and CSS code is the good old W3C validator. And if you haven\u2019t checked a document for years, you\u2019ll probably be interested to hear that they have created a new tool called \u201cNu HTML\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ScreenFly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you own a website, you want it to look good. But does it look good on other devices? As you can\u2019t own 5 smartphones, 10 laptops and 5 desktop displays, the best way to check how your website looks on multiples devices and resolutions is to use a tool which allows you to visualize an url under different resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As often, there\u2019s a lot of different tools competing. My favorite is by far ScreenFly, for its modern and easy-to-use interface as well as its predefined presets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achecker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"According to W3C,\u00a0\u201cWeb accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0So, in terms of ethics, it\u2019s definitely an important aspect of a quality website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AChecker is an online tool that checks HTML pages for conformance with accessibility standards to ensure the content can be accessed by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Here\u2019s a free online tool which allows you to run a free website speed test from multiple locations around the globe using real browsers (IE and Chrome) and at real consumer connection speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
