Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Website meta title | Home - City of Kingston | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 23. |
Meta description | Official site of the City of Kingston, providing local government news and information for residents and visitors. | To make sure all the meta description is visible in search results page, Google recommends length of up to 320 characters at the most. This description has exactly 114 characters. |
Keywords | Greater Kingston Area, Lake Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Kingston City Government, Official Site, City, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Kingston Ontario, Kingston Canada | We did not expect meta keywords to be used. It's a worrying sign more than anything, really, as websites with meta keywords often tend to be spammy. |
Load time | 2.2055 seconds on average | Load speed is a concern and should be improved if and when possible. |
Alexa global | 500 040, as last updated | According to Alexa, the website's popularity is not exactly high. Take this rank with a healthy pinch of salt. |
Quantcast global | 266 924 | The website's rank is quite poor. As with Alexa, QUANTCAST is not always perfectly representative of a website's performance. |
Total links on homepage | We found 263 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
Number of backlinks | Around 688 | Such a decent amount of backlinks certainly ads to the ranking. |
Page HTML size | 141.1KB | How do we put this... improvement is quite necessary. Load speed is a very important factor in so many ways! |
Website server | Server appears to be online. The IP address for the server is 64.46.32.26. | It's unfortunate, but despite our best attempts, we failed to gather enough data to provide a meaningful insight at this time. |
What, all that information was not enough? You want... more? Right, then. You asked for it.
As we've mentioned before, traffic is not a key metric. However, the target audience does say a lot about what's been done to optimize the website, as well as what should be done going forwards. Let's see if we have any useful information here.
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Relevant categories | Regional North America Canada Ontario Localities K Kingston Government |
The most obvious area of interest for the target audience are these categories. Most, if not all of them can be attributed to the website in question. |
Related websites | visitkingston.ca downtownkingston.ca kingstonregion.com thewhig.com utilitieskingston.com |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as cityofkingston.ca, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
Now this is rather important. With viruses and malware so dominant these days, website safety is among the key ratings. It's importance is such that a website marked as unsafe is more than likely not to rank at all, let alone on the first page. Now, some sources are more reliable than others, but we'll try to present you with all the information we've managed to gather, along with some relevant commentary.
Absolute accuracy is accessible only by the webmasters. If you keep that in mind, perhaps you will find out approximate numbers of some use.
Where appropriate, we'll add an insight, but the numbers themselves speak clearly enough, eh?
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Time spent on site | 2:25 | This is a decent average time spent on a website. |
With over 4 million websites indexed (which can seem as a lot, or very little, depending on your point of view), Alexa is perhaps the oldest and certainly the best known ranking system, deservedly or not. The Alexa Global and Local ranks of a website are based on an approximate amount of visitors a given website receives. The more visitors, the higher the rank. The Alexa rank, be it Local or Global, should be taken with a pinch of salt. After all, visitor count is by far not the simple measure of a website's success it's made out to be. For example, a gardening website is never going to be as popular as a movie review website. It does not mean it's not popular within it's niche.
QUANTCAST - an advertising-related data processing company - mostly specializes in real-time audience analysis and measurements. In other words it, like Alexa, is basing its rankings on approximate traffic numbers. Currently, QUANTCAST has rated around 247 567 268 websites. Just like ALEXA, this is not a metric of huge importance, so don't base your SEO decisions on QUANTCAST rank, specifically. At best, it's a vague representation of how your website is doing in the grand scheme of things, but it does not take all that much context into account.
Similarly to how a hard drive or a modern SSD device holds your files, a server holds all the files the website needs to operate. To load a webpage, your browser needs to contact the said server and request files - strings of code that make up the website into what it is, including images, text and database entries. Each physical server has a unique IP address that is used by the browser to contact it.
Let's see what technical information we've managed to gather:
