Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Earlier this year, Sayed and I released Web Developer Checklist to help web developer adhere to best practices. Checklists like these can be really helpful to make sure we don’t forget anything before releasing new or updated websites.

imageNow we’re introducing Web Developer Checklist as a Chrome extension 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.

It performs a series of checks by analyzing the DOM as well as integrating with 3rd-party services like Google PageSpeed.

Next steps

This first version of the Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension does a series of really valuable checks. The next releases will have even more.

Specifically, we’re looking at adding:

  • HTML validation
  • CSS validation
  • Accessibility validation
  • JSHint
  • CssLint
  • Guidance for each item

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.

Open source

The Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension is open source and hosted on our GitHub org. As always, pull requests are more than welcome.
