Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Carleton College: A Leading Liberal Arts College in Northfield, Minnesota | 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 73 characters long. |
| Description | Ranked among the nation’s best colleges, Carleton College is a small, private liberal arts college in the historic river town of Northfield, Minnesota. | This meta description is 151 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 1.103 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
| Alexa global rank | 29670, as last checked | According to Alexa and the Global rank, the site is quite well known. |
| Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 219689 | 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 81 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 4194 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
| HTML size | 143KB | 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 137.22.94.36. | 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 | Career and Education > Education Career and Education > Universities and Colleges People and Society Arts and Entertainment |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | edutopia.org nsta.org ascd.org learner.org teachthought.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as carleton.edu, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
| Possibly visited | plus.maths.org carleton-csm.symplicity.com edurisksolutions.org lola.mondoweb.net edudemic.com |
The people that visit carleton.edu 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 | 1.63M | Without taking the target audience context into account, we'd say the website's not that popular. We do urge you to make your own conclusions, though. |
| Delta of monthly traffic | +33.24% | The traffic has grown over the last month. |
| Approximate time on site | 2:31 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
| carleton.edu Visitor Bounce Rate | 66.01% | This is the final search stop for a lot of visitors. |
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 26589277 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.
