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!

Website speed analysis

• The website load in around 1.2619 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 38.5 kilobytes. Such an amount is nothing to worry about.
• The homepage of the website contains at least 12 images. Such an amount can be considered spot on and should not impact the load speed of the website in any negative way.
• Around 38 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, wa.gov takes up 3881 place. This information was retrieved on 2018-01-21.
• The best rank given to this website was 2210, given on 2016-04-03.
• Over the last 90 days or so, the rank has changed by 68.
• On the other hand, the worst rank this website was given is 5956 on 2016-12-27.
• The average rank, month after month, is around 3558 for wa.gov.

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 566261 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, wa.gov takes up 962 place in terms of traffic among all the other indexed websites, according to Quantcast. This rank was retrieved on 2015-02-05.
• The all-time best rank of 545 was recorded on 2014-08-11 by Quantcast.
• As for the worst position of 994, this dark day was on 2014-12-03.

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 198.239.146.53.
• Server status: online.
