www.ultimatepresence.co.uk/web-site-assessor
The Web Site Assessor for Ultimate Presence is an automatic tool that retrieves, analyses and scrores websites. The tool was created at first for promotional uses but turned out to be a very powerful aid in creating a UK Disability Discrimination Act compliant websites.
The Tool rates sites based on the following criteria:
- The power and response of the server on which it resides.
- The syntaxual correctness of the HTML and CSS.
- The semantical correctness of the HTML and CSS.
- Usage of JavaScript and Flash.
- Appropriate use of content, images and links.
- Keywords Analysis and Search Engine position.
The Web Site Assessor is an example of how verstile the PHP language is, the code runs both via command line and via web server, allowing users to start the system processing a site and come back later once it has completed.
