Website Quality AlertsPosted by Sam Soltano on 22 October 2009 in NewsSummary: We start showing quality alerts for websites, indicating potential problems. We hope that this is a way to help webmasters to improve the technical quality of their sites. Quality alerts indicate potential problems on websites. We identify and show these problems in the hope to provide a useful tool for webmasters to improve their sites.
We try not to duplicate information that can easily be found by other tools, such as HTML validators, however there will always be some overlap. Furthermore, we put some effort into verifying that an alert is likely to actually have any real impact. For example, we don't alert on a missing character encoding definition, when the page uses only ASCII characters.
You can find here a list of all alerts and their descriptions. The actual alerts of a web site are shown in the site info section. I would normally not highlight other peoples problems in this blog, but to show you an example, I will make an exception. You find an alert for a site that we used as example for some time now, and that particular problem has been discussed on the web before.
We hope that our users will benefit from that new service, and you can expect us to further enhance that feature in the future.
