Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Canada.ca | As meta title is a ranking factor, it's quite important to stick to search engine recommended length of aroun 50-60 characters. This website's meta title is 9 characters long. |
| Description | The Government of Canada website is a single point of access to all programs, services, departments, ministries and organizations of the Government of Canada. | This meta description is 158 characters in length. Google suggests up to 320 characters at the very most to make sure the whole meta description is visible in search results page. |
| Site speed | Around 0.752 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
| Alexa global rank | 3504, as last checked | Based on information provided by Alexa, we can assume the website is well known. |
| Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 208870 | Quantcast does not rank this website very high, which should in theory mean it's not that popular. Having said that, popularity is context-dependant, so take this with a grain of salt. |
| Links on homepage | Around 4 links | This looks... a little suspicious, to be honest. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 2494 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
| HTML size | 7.8KB | A very good result, this. Remember, search engines such as Google place a lot of their website ratings on its speed. |
| Website host server overview | Server status: online. Server IP address for this website is 23.0.43.205. | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. |
If the basic information we presented you with above is not enough, get ready to dive in much deeper!
Now that the numbers are taken care of, we can go deeper and try to analyse the website from a user's perspective. More specifically, let's see if we can identify the target audience as well as a few related websites and categories.
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Related categories | Law and Government > Government Finance > Banking Business and Industry Career and Education > Jobs and Employment |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | cra-arc.gc.ca cic.gc.ca gov.on.ca ontario.ca kijiji.ca |
These websites fall into the same categories as canada.ca, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
| Possibly visited | cms-sgj.cra-arc.gc.ca onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca srv136.services.gc.ca srv265.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca clegc-gckey.gc.ca |
The people that visit canada.ca also seem to have a marked interest in these websites. |
Trying to acquire very accurate visitor data is immensely difficult and can only be done when given direct access to the server. However, there are ways to get approximate numbers.
The numbers themselves probably say enough, but we'll add some insight where possible.
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Approximate traffic per month | 17.23M | The website is clearly extremely popular. |
| Delta of monthly traffic | +15.98% | The traffic has grown over the last month. |
| Approximate time on site | 2:21 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
| canada.ca Visitor Bounce Rate | 37.34% | A alrge portion of visitors find what they are looking for on this website. |
ALEXA rating is based on the number of visitors a given page receives. The higher the visitor count, the higher the rating. Currently, ALEXA has over 4 million websites indexed. If you sense cynicism in our words, you're not mistaken - we think Alexa rating is overrated, to put it mildly. A website's worth (and contextual popularity) is more than the sum of the views. So take the rank with a grain of salt.
QUANTCAST is a data processing company that mostly gathers information for advertising companies. It specializes in real-time audience analysis and, as you may have gathered, is really quite similar to Alexa, if perhaps not as infamous. To our knowledge, the company has rated and ranked approximately 122378560 websites so far. There is always a caveat with these sort of ranking systems - they don't really take any context into account. As such, their usefulness is debatable at best. Don't overthink this rank - it's just a number, really.
Servers are physical storage devices that contain all the files and databases associated with a specific website, sometimes more than one. At times, a server makes up several virtual devices - separate servers used for shared hosting (tends to be cheaper). Entering website address into the address bar of your browser starts the request process during which your browser contacts the server and asks for specific files and database entries in order to display the requested website.
