Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Meta title | ESPN: The Worldwide Leader in Sports | 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 36 characters long. |
Description | Visit ESPN to get up-to-the-minute sports news coverage, scores, highlights and commentary for NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, NCAA Basketball and more. | This meta description is 153 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. |
<meta> keywords | ESPN.com, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPN Classic, ESPNU, Insider, sports scores, sports news, MLB scores, NFL scores, NBA scores, NHL scores, College Football scores, College Basketball scores, sports videos, sports information, Fantasy sports, Fantasy games, Fantasy football, Fantasy baseball | Strangely enough, meta keywords still seem to be used. We would not go down that road unless very carefully - meta keywords have not been known as a positive ranking factor for a while now. |
Site speed | Around 1.74 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
Alexa global rank | 27004, as last checked | According to Alexa and the Global rank, the site is quite well known. |
Links on homepage | Around 205 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 37670 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
HTML size | 271.4KB | Ah. Well. We were hoping for better results... We would urge the website owners to improve load speed as soon as possible. |
Website host server overview | Server status: online. Server IP address for this website is 199.181.133.15. | 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 | Sports News and Media Sports > Football News and Media > Sports News |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | closeoption.com foxsports.com edulands.com nondualteacher.com estoren.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as espn.go.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
Possibly visited | nba.nbcsports.com be.betcris.do de.soccerway.com fantasysharks.com forums.animesuki.com |
The people that visit espn.go.com also seem to have a marked interest in these websites. |
Website safety – both in terms of malicious actions as well as of the content itself – is a key factor that should not be underestimated. With not only viruses, but also harmful and hateful articles and opinions aplenty, it's important to protect our computers and friends and family from any harm.
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 | 41.38M | 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 | +2.48% | The traffic has grown over the last month. |
Approximate time on site | 2:38 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
espn.go.com Visitor Bounce Rate | 83.04% | 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.
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:
