A validator is a software program that can check your web pages against the web standards.

When using a validator to check HTML, XHTML or CSS documents, the validator returns a list of errors found, according to your chosen standard.

https://validator.w3.org/

As you mentioned, you want to check if your code is compatible with browsers, you can also use https://crossbrowsertesting.com/
