Online testing
You can run a free "tune up" to check your site for Browser Compatibility Search engine Readiness, Load Time, Dead Links, Link Popularity (number of sites that link to you), Spelling and HTML Design. There are also a number of pay for services such as Browser Snapshot (which displays how your page looks in different browser versions on different platforms) and GifLube (which checks the size of your images and whether they can be reduced in size).
