Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Welcome! | Dalhousie Student Union | 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 34 characters long. |
| Description | The DSU is recognized by the University Administration (Board of Governors and the Nova Scotia Legislature as a single voice for Dalhousie students. Overview, health plan and student advocacy. | This meta description is 192 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 0.7356 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
| Alexa global rank | 938886, as last checked | Based on Alexa Global, we can assume the website is not very popular. Mind you, Alexa's worth is questionable at best. |
| Links on homepage | Around 261 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 61 | The number of backlinks seems awfully low. If possible, the webmaster should work towards building more through quality content and public awareness. |
| HTML size | 59.4KB | 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 67.212.91.252. | 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 | Society Organizations Student Student Government College and University Schools Canada Reference Education Colleges and Universities North America Canada Nova Scotia Dalhousie University |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | dalu.sharepoint.com dalgazette.com studentvip.ca internationalhealth.ca dineoncampus.ca |
These websites fall into the same categories as dsu.ca, 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 | 2:22 | 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.
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:
