HTML Checking for Large Sites
Rocket Validator integrates the W3C Validator HTML checker into an automated web crawler.
The novalidate attribute is boolean: the presence of a boolean attribute on an element represents the true value, and the absence of the attribute represents the false value. As a boolean attribute, it does not need to be passed any value such as true or 1 to activate the novalidate property.
This boolean attribute indicates that the form shouldn’t be validated when submitted. If this attribute is not set (and therefore the form is validated), it can be overridden by a formnovalidate attribute on a <button>, <input type="submit">, or <input type="image"> element belonging to the form.
Example:
<form method="post" novalidate>
<label>User Name:
<input name="user-name" autocomplete="name">
</label>
<button>Save</button>
</form>Learn more:

There is no attribute validate on the <form> element. Perhaps you meant novalidate?
If the novalidate attribute is present on a <form>, indicates that the form is not to be validated during submission.
For example, while this form has a required attribute on its input, it won’t be enforced because form validation has been disabled using novalidate:
<form novalidate>
<label>City: <input required name="city"></label>
<input type="submit" />
</form>The value contact is not a valid option for the autocomplete attribute on an <input> element.
All HTML elements may have the hidden boolean attribute set. When specified on an element, it indicates that the element is not yet, or is no longer, relevant, so browsers won’t render it.
Boolean attributes don’t accept values, its presence represents the true value and its absence represents the false value.
<!-- This is invalid because the hidden attribute should not have a value set -->
<div hidden="false"></div>
<!-- The correct way to hide a div is like this -->
<div hidden>This will be hidden</div>
<!-- And to show the element, we just don't hide it -->
<div>This won't be hidden</div>The action attribute on a <form> element is not a required attribute, but if specified, must be a valid, non-empty URL. For example:
<form action="register.php">

An <a> element has been found with an invalid href attribute, containing more than one # adjacent character.
The # is used to separate the fragment part of an URI (typically used to indicate a section within a document). For example, this is a valid link to a URI containing a fragment:
<a href="https://example.com/faqs#pricing">pricing</a>The next example is invalid because it contains two adjacent # characters, so that the fragment part would be #pricing instead of pricing:
<a href="https://example.com/faqs##pricing">pricing</a>The href attribute of an <a> element contains an invalid character, that should be properly encoded as a URI percent-encoded character.

An illegal character has been found for the “href” attribute on the “link” element.
To fix this issue, find the “link” element in question and make sure that the “href” attribute contains a valid URL without any illegal characters.
Here’s some example HTML code of a link element:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Webpage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my webpage!</h1>
<p>Here is some content...</p>
</body>
</html>In the above example, the link element has a valid href attribute value of styles/main.css. Make sure that your href attribute values don’t contain any illegal characters.
For rel="preload" and as="image" only, the imagesizes attribute is a sizes attribute that indicates to preload the appropriate resource used by an img element with corresponding values for its srcset and sizes attributes.
For rel="preload" and as="image" only, the imagesrcset attribute is a sourceset attribute that indicates to preload the appropriate resource used by an img element with corresponding values for its srcset and sizes attributes.
The name attribute is required for all input elements.
