While it's impossible to provide a single code snippet that can detect and solve all potential issues on a website, I can provide a way to go about this. First, you'll want to use different tools that can go through your website and detect potential issues. For web development, tools such as validators (HTML, CSS, JS), linters, unit tests, and integration tests are used to catch bugs. Here's a general way you can setup linters and tests: 1. **HTML validation:** This validator can be used to detect issues with HTML syntax: https://validator.w3.org/ Just input your site's URL, and the validator will provide a list of any HTML issues it detects. 2. **CSS** validation: Similarly, you can use: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ It works just like the HTML validator but is focused on CSS. 3. **JS Linting:** For JavaScript, you could use a linter like ESLint. You'll have to set it up in your project: For npm projects, install ESlint via the terminal: ```bash npm install eslint --save-dev ``` Then set up configuration file: ```bash ./node_modules/.bin/eslint --init ``` Then run: ```bash ./node_modules/.bin/eslint yourfile.js ``` 4. **Unit testing**: This involves testing individual components of your website to ensure they function properly. Using Jest testing framework is a common approach for JS based projects. Install Jest via npm: ```bash npm install --save-dev jest ``` Then, to run your tests: ```bash npm test ``` Remember, for unit testing, you'll have to write your own tests based on the components and functionality of your site. 5. **Automated testing**: Tools like Selenium or Puppeteer can be used to automate browser-based testing, making sure the UI behaves as expected. Remember, debugging is often an active process and requires understanding of the codebase and potential problem areas. It's not just about detecting issues but also understanding how to fix them, which can often be complex and require a decent level of programming expertise.
