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!

econsumer.gov In-Depth

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.

econsumer.gov 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 econsumer.gov 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. When it comes to great reputation, Norton and the company behind the software, Symantec, are up there with the best. When it comes to infamy, WoT is quite lonely. WoT (or Web of Trust) is, to put it mildy, perhaps the least reputable and trustworthy (oh, the irony) of sources that we can think of at this moment. The reason is simple - so many of the negative reports are false. And, what's even worse, WoT used to sell personal user data to third parties. Yeah, it's that bad. Still, we are including the data here for one reason - in case they are right, even one time out of a hundred. Just keep the context in mind and double-check... after tripple-checking. Got all of that? Ok, then. According to Web of Trust, econsumer.gov has a Trustworthiness rating of 95 (out of 10). We can't help but wonder what rating WoT themselves should receive... But let's not dwell. Child Safety rating is 94/100. Take these ratings for what they are worth (which is to say, not always all that much).
3. 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 - No Malware Detected by External Scan. The website is also Not Currently Blacklisted (10 Blacklists Checked).

econsumer.gov Traffic Overview

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.

Website speed analysis

• The website load in around 0.9942 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 19.8 kilobytes. Such an amount is nothing to worry about.
• The homepage of the website contains at least 16 images. Such an amount can be considered spot on and should not impact the load speed of the website in any negative way.
• Around 54 server requests have been made before the webpage was fully loaded. This is a good number of server requests. As every request made increases the time it takes to load the page, such a low amount of requests probably improves page load time.

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, econsumer.gov takes up 705291 place. This information was retrieved on 2018-01-27.
• The best rank given to this website was 285822, given on 2014-03-05.
• Over the last 90 days or so, the rank has changed by 128090.
• On the other hand, the worst rank this website was given is 997759 on 2015-02-13.
• The average rank, month after month, is around 657348 for econsumer.gov.
• In India, where is the main target audience of the website, it ranks in 237950 place.

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 34187800 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, econsumer.gov takes up 297204 place in terms of traffic among all the other indexed websites, according to Quantcast. This rank was retrieved on 2014-03-13.
• The all-time best rank of 297165 was recorded on 2014-03-11 by Quantcast.
• As for the worst position of 329279, 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 8.31.162.130.
• Server status: online.
