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!

vcm.com 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.

vcm.com 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 vcm.com 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. 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).

vcm.com 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 2.8477 seconds. Ah. Well. We were hoping for better results... We would urge the website owners to improve load speed as soon as possible.
• The page HTML weighs approximately 146 kilobytes. Such an amount is nothing to worry about.
• The homepage of the website contains at least 14 images. Such an amount can be considered spot on and should not impact the load speed of the website in any negative way.
• Around 46 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, vcm.com takes up 1024569 place. This information was retrieved on 2018-01-20.
• The best rank given to this website was 791066, given on 2017-04-13.
• Over the last 90 days or so, the rank has changed by 243264.
• On the other hand, the worst rank this website was given is 998543 on 2015-03-27.
• The average rank, month after month, is around 906729 for vcm.com.
• In United States, where is the main target audience of the website, it ranks in 177273 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 6536179 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, vcm.com takes up 100724 place in terms of traffic among all the other indexed websites, according to Quantcast. This rank was retrieved on 2014-09-16.
• The all-time best rank of 100427 was recorded on 2014-08-19 by Quantcast.
• As for the worst position of 100727, this dark day was on 2014-09-14.

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 198.212.56.116.
• Server status: online.
