ridgetimes.co.za Safety Assessment

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.

1. Norton is one of the most renown security softwares and services in the world, provided by California-based cyber security experts Symantec. As such, we take their verdict on a website's security very seriously. Norton deems ridgetimes.co.za as no_data. Experts report no annoyance factors. Norton did not find any computer threats. Hoorah! Lastly, the company has found no identity threats.
2. Heard of Sucuri? You may have, despite the young age of the online security company. It was first started by Daniel B. Cid a few years back, in 2010, and is now owned by GoDaddy. Young it may be, but it already has proven to be quite a reputable expert and we tend to trust Sucuri's assessments. Now that that's clear, let's get to the point - Outdated Software detected. The website is also Not Currently Blacklisted (10 Blacklists Checked).

Website speed analysis

• The website load in around 0.8003 seconds. A very good result, this. Remember, search engines such as Google place a lot of their website ratings on its speed.
• The page HTML weighs approximately 115.2 kilobytes. Such an amount is nothing to worry about.
• The homepage of the website contains at least 115 images. Such an amount of images to have on a homepage is alright, so long as they are well compressed.
• Around 204 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.
