Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Meta title | SOAS University of London | 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 25 characters long. |
Description | SOAS, University of London is the world's leading institution for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East Since its formation in 1916, SOAS, University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies) has built an enviable reputation around the globe for the calibre and quality of its courses, teaching and research. Part of the University of London, and located in the heart of the capital, SOAS continues to enhance its position as the world's leading centre for the study of a highly diverse range of subjects concerned with Asia, Africa and the Middle East. | This meta description is 570 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 | SOAS, S.O.A.S., School of Oriental and African Studies, School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London, London University, Study Africa, Study Asia, Study the middle east, africa, asia, middle east, china, japan, india, london, study in london, global studies, african studies, asian studies, middle eastern studies, MENA | 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 0.973 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
Alexa global rank | 39737, 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 933395 | Quantcast does not rank this website very high, which should in theory mean it's not that popular. Having said that, popularity is context-dependant, so take this with a grain of salt. |
Links on homepage | Around 77 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 2868 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
HTML size | 19KB | 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 212.219.139.54. | 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: before Aug-1996 bef | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. 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 | Science Social Sciences Area Studies African Studies Programs and Research Centers Society Ethnicity African African-British Reference Education Colleges and Universities Europe United Kingdom England University of London Colleges and Institutes School of Oriental and African Studies Regional Europe United Kingdom Education Language Schools |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | london.ac.uk kcl.ac.uk gold.ac.uk lse.ac.uk westminster.ac.uk |
These websites fall into the same categories as soas.ac.uk, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
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 time on site | 3:20 | Wow, that's a great average result! The website must have some incredible content to keep visitors occupied. |
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 115497087 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:
