Website Evaluation and Review In-Depth

If the basic information we presented you with above is not enough, get ready to dive in much deeper!

Website speed analysis

• The website load in around 6.5097 seconds. Ah. Well. We were hoping for better results... We would urge the website owners to improve load speed as soon as possible.
• The page HTML weighs approximately 532.5 kilobytes. A few kilobytes here and there might not seem like much, but every little bit helps load speed. This result should be improved.
• The homepage of the website contains at least 34 images. Such an amount can be considered spot on and should not impact the load speed of the website in any negative way.
• Around 104 server requests have been made before the webpage was fully loaded. For the sake of users and ranking in search results, we hope this gets improved soon. Succife to say, we are not too enthusiastic about such a high number of server requests.

Detailed Alexa rank overview

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.

• Among all the websites ranked on Alexa, ftc.edu takes up 986832 place. This information was retrieved on 2018-01-11.
• The best rank given to this website was 446214, given on 2014-11-16.
• Over the last 90 days or so, the rank has changed by 46174.
• On the other hand, the worst rank this website was given is 999939 on 2017-05-31.
• The average rank, month after month, is around 733521 for ftc.edu.

QUANTCAST ranking up close

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 309154325 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.

• From what we know, ftc.edu takes up 397871 place in terms of traffic among all the other indexed websites, according to Quantcast. This rank was retrieved on 2015-02-05.
• The all-time best rank of 64553 was recorded on 2014-01-15 by Quantcast.
• As for the worst position of 606663, this dark day was on 2013-11-22.

Host Server Details

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.

• Server IP for this website is 72.47.232.8.
• The physical location of the server itself is in Culver City, California, United States. Location zip code is 90232.
• Server status: online.
