Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Meta title | CTAN: Comprehensive TeX Archive Network | 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 39 characters long. |
Description | The TeX Archive Network is a set of fully-mirrored ftp sites providing the most complete, up-to-date TeX-related software possible. | This meta description is 131 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 0.989 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
Alexa global rank | 35623, 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 68417 | The website seems to enjoy good popularity, according to Quantcast. |
Links on homepage | Around 77 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 3135 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
HTML size | 20.5KB | 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 176.28.54.184. | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. |
Main domain information | Registered on: 1998-03-11 05:00:00 | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. The website domain address is currently registered at DNC Holdings, Inc. |
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 | Computers Software Typesetting TeX |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | latex.org tug.org sharelatex.com texblog.org overleaf.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as ctan.org, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
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 time on site | 2:16 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
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 250583777 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.
What follows is certainly very geeky, but informative for the knowing. Dig in:
