Tag: feed validation

Feed validation checks that an RSS or Atom feed follows the format rules, so that readers, aggregators and automation tools can process it without errors. A broken character, a missing date or a wrong image address can stop new items from being picked up or make them appear with the wrong title or picture. Feeds break more often than site owners expect, usually after a theme update, a plugin change or a migration. PostRSS depends on healthy feeds: it reads any RSS or Atom feed from a blog, shop, news site or YouTube channel and publishes each new item to your social networks. Built and run by Internet Solutions since 2014, it checks feeds frequently, and its history view shows what was posted, where and when. Checking a feed after every larger change to the site is a simple habit that avoids silent gaps on social media.
