Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Meta title | The Groton Line | 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 15 characters long. |
Description | The Groton Line is Groton Massachusett\'s hyperlocal news site -- All Groton All The Time | This meta description is 89 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 | Groton Line, Groton online, grotonline, The Groton Line, news, groton news, groton ma, groton ma news, hyplerlocal, The Lowell Sun, The Groton Landmark, The Groton Herald, groton obituaries, 01450, Mark Haddad, Peter Cunningham, Anna Eliot, Stuart Schulman, Josh Degen, Groton selectmen, groton town manager, Groton-Dunstable, groton newspaper, groton news, Groton MA, Groton Massachusetts, Obituaries,Death Notices,Newspaper Obituaries,Online Obituaries,Guest Book,Grief and Loss,Tribute,Memorial,Funeral Home Information,Bereavement,northeast energy direct | 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 2.8897 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
Alexa global rank | 7053610, 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. |
Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 83705 | The website seems to enjoy good popularity, according to Quantcast. |
Links on homepage | Around 170 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 27 | The number of backlinks seems awfully low. If possible, the webmaster should work towards building more through quality content and public awareness. |
HTML size | 197.9KB | 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 35.184.103.223. | 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 |
---|---|---|
Alternative websites | grotonherald.com townofgroton.org gdrsd.org nashobavalleyvoice.com gctrust.org |
These websites fall into the same categories as thegrotonline.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
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 39943671 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:
