validate-website is a web crawler for checking the markup validity with XML Schema / DTD and not found urls (more info doc/validate-website.adoc).

Jekyll static site validation
You can add this Rake task to validate a jekyll site:
desc 'validate _site with validate website'
task validate: :build do
Dir.chdir("_site") do
system("validate-website-static",
"--verbose",
"--exclude", "examples",
"--site", HTTP_URL)
exit($?.exitstatus)
end
end
end
More info
HTML5
Tidy5
If the libtidy5 is found on your system this will be the default to validate your html5 document. This does not depend on a tier service everything is done locally.
nokogiri
nokogiri can validate html5 document without tier service but reports less errors than tidy.
Validator.nu web service
When --html5-validator nu option is used HTML5 support is done by using the
Validator.nu Web Service, so the content of your webpage is logged by a tier.
It's not the case for other validation because validate-website use the XML
Schema or DTD stored on the data/ directory.
Please read http://about.validator.nu/#tos for more info on the HTML5 validation service.
Use validator standalone web server locally
You can download validator jar and start it with:
java -cp PATH_TO/vnu.jar nu.validator.servlet.Main 8888
Then you can use validate-website option:
--html5-validator-service-url http://localhost:8888/
# or
export VALIDATOR_NU_URL="http://localhost:8888/"
This will prevent you to be blacklisted from validator webservice.
Tests
With standard environment:
bundle exec rake
