Nibbler

Nibbler is a free web-based testing tool that takes a web address, tried to find up to 5 pages from that web site, and tests them for a range of criteria.

Once the test has completed after a couple of minutes you get a free report scoring the the website out of 10 for various tests with more detail on results within the report.

This tool is useful for pointing out problem areas that then require further investigation such as whether your code validates or whether the website has Google Analytics installed on all 5 pages.
