Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | SourceForge - Download, Develop and Publish Free Open Source Software | 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 69 characters long. |
| Description | Free, secure and fast downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory - SourceForge.net | This meta description is 114 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 | Open Source, Open Source Software, Development, Community, Source Code, Secure, Downloads, Free Software | 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 2.145 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
| Alexa global rank | 334, as last checked | Based on information provided by Alexa, we can assume the website is well known. |
| Links on homepage | Around 93 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 186664 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
| HTML size | 73.2KB | 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 216.34.181.60. | 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 | Computer and Electronics > Software Computer and Electronics News and Media > Technology News Computer and Electronics > Programming |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | github.com stackoverflow.com github.io superuser.com askubuntu.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as sourceforge.net, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
| Possibly visited | filezilla-project.org openoffice.org apachefriends.org dosbox.com templates.openoffice.org |
The people that visit sourceforge.net also seem to have a marked interest in these websites. |
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 traffic per month | 79.68M | Without taking the target audience context into account, we'd say the website's not that popular. We do urge you to make your own conclusions, though. |
| Delta of monthly traffic | -3.84% | Visitor amount has decreased somewhat over the past month when compared to the month before that. |
| Approximate time on site | 3:02 | Wow, that's a great average result! The website must have some incredible content to keep visitors occupied. |
| sourceforge.net Visitor Bounce Rate | 38.59% | A alrge portion of visitors find what they are looking for on this website. |
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:
