Checklists like these can be really helpful to make sure we don’t forget anything before releasing new or updated websites. </p> <p><img width="279" height="580" title="image" style="margin-left: 10px; float: right;" alt="image" src="/posts/files/image.png" />Now we’re introducing Web Developer Checklist as a <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-developer-checklist/iahamcpedabephpcgkeikbclmaljebjp" target="_blank">Chrome extension</a> that can automate a big portion of the checklist. The extension let’s you run checks for various best practices on any website - including your own running from localhost.</p> <p>It performs a series of checks by analyzing the DOM as well as integrating with 3^rd-party services like <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/" target="_blank">Google PageSpeed</a>.</p> <h2>Next steps</h2> <p>This first version of the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-developer-checklist/iahamcpedabephpcgkeikbclmaljebjp" target="_blank">Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension</a> does a series of really valuable checks. The next releases will have even more.</p> <p>Specifically, we’re looking at adding:</p> <ul> <li>HTML validation </li><li>CSS validation </li><li>Accessibility validation </li><li>JSHint </li><li>CssLint </li><li>Guidance for each item</li></ul> <p>We think these checks would be hugely beneficial. If you have ideas for other checks that can be automated, please let us know in the comments below.</p> <h2>Open source</h2> <p>The Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension is open source and hosted on our <a href="https://github.com/ligershark/BestPracticesChromeExtension" target="_blank">GitHub org</a>.
