I've been developing this site lately, and have made extensive changes on an ongoing basis.
Lately I've noticed my site was loading a lot slower than I would like. I did some checking and ran into the W3C Markup Validation Service
This site analyzes your website's html code and looks for broken tags and invalid code of any sort.
I noticed that I had 18 code errors on my home page. These weren't big errors, however the browser still has to translate them and try to correct for them. That takes time...
Last night I went and corrected all 18 errors and Voila! my page started to load faster. I was surprised and thought I should pass that along to the readers.
At the webmasterworld conference in New Orleans, I heard talk that the search engines might penalize sites for having code mistakes in pages, ie... sloppily written pages. I can see why now. If a google spider is slowed down while trying to parse through your page which is full of errors, they might hesitate before coming back. This makes sense.
So... take a moment and validate your html code.
The best part about this is it's FREE!
