are there any sites where you just plug in your address
adn the site does some kind of "automated review"

like..checks links or something...anything really.

i *think* my friend had his sent to a site which automatically reviewed it
for accessibility (people with bad vision..etc.)?

anything else out there like this?

thanks

1. Download and install Opera
http://www.opera.com/

2. Install the W3-dev extension for Opera

3. You now have access to plenty of automated tests (link checks,
cachability, etc)

Lots of them.

The "Checky" extension for Mozilla does much the same as the one Toby
mentioned for Opera, if Mozilla is your browser of choice.

HTH :-)

There are lots of others. (cacheability, Lynxview, etc.) Google for
what you want to check.

Automatic checks for accessibility are problematic, because such
checks really can't be computer interpreted.

If you still want to look at one, Bobby is popular.

Note that you can access services without special extensions. It's
just a little more work.
