Would this…

  Welcome to the W3C Markup Validation Service; a free service
  to improve your website by checking its  HTML  or  XHTML for
  syntax errors and other problems.

…variation cover it?

It's a little convoluted and doesn't get the point across as focussed as the
original, but at least it avoids the troublesome “conformance“ terminology
without wandering into geek-speak.

Or is the “short, to the point” version preferable here?
