Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Latest breaking news from Nigeria & world | TODAY.ng | 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 52 characters long. |
| Description | Find the latest Nigeria and world news and analysis, headlines, blogs, pictures and videos from TODAY.ng. | This meta description is 105 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 | Nigeria News, Nigerian Politics, Nigerian Economy, Development, Nigeria Information, Breaking News, Nigerian Newspaper, Nigeria Online, Africa, Africa News, African Newspaper, African Development, Nigerian Information, Nigerian Elections, Nigerian Elections, Political Parties, Nigerian Elections, PDP, APC, APGA, Abuja, Lagos, Nigeria Corruption, Nigeria Oil, Nigerian Petroleum, Boko Haram, Terrorists, Nigerian President, Nigerian Legislators, National Assembly, Anambra, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Adamawa, Abia, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe, Zamfara, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Aba, Abakaliki, Abeokuta, Abuja, Agege, Akure, Asaba, Awka, Bauchi, Benin City, Birnin Kebbi, Calabar, Dutse, Eket, Enugu, Gombe, Gusau, Ibadan, Ife, Ikeja, Ikot-Abasi, Ikot Ekpene, Ikoyi, Ilorin, Iragbiji, Jalingo, Jimeta, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Karu, Kumariya, Lafia, Lagos, Lokoja, Maiduguri, Makurdi, Minna, Nsukka, Ogbomoso, Onitsha, Okene, Ogaminana, Oron, Oshogbo, Owerri, Owo, Orlu, Oyo, Port Harcourt, Potiskum, Sokoto, Suleja, Umuahia, Uyo, Warri, Wukari, Yenagoa, Yola, Zaria, Politics, Business, News, Buhari, Jonathan, Breaking, Flashing, Nigeria Newspapers, Nigeria Newsdesk | 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 5.709 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
| Alexa global rank | 68728, as last checked | According to Alexa and the Global rank, the site is quite well known. |
| Links on homepage | Around 217 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 582 | A good amount of backlinks. |
| HTML size | 119.5KB | 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 158.69.241.176. | 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 | Regional Africa Nigeria News and Media |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | premiumtimesng.com dailypost.ng thisdaylive.com guardian.ng vanguardngr.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as today.ng, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
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 | 3:21 | 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.
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:
