RSS feeds can be created easily. Compatibility can make it a little more difficult to create these codes. Many apps and sites are trying to read your feed. However, some are more selective than others and may not be able to locate them.
Your RSS feed is left behind, often skipped by sites and unread by RSS feed readers. It can cause you to lose all your goals if your feed doesn’t show up in searches.
Problem is, if errors sneak in, you might not be aware. Even if you know the location of an error, it is possible that you don’t know how to correct it.
RSS feed validators can be very helpful. They will test your RSS feed and flag any errors. They help you fix and troubleshoot errors so your feed can return to its best — delivering your amazing content to your engaged and waiting audience .
