Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Website meta title | Afstandsonderwijs op universitair niveau - OU | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 45. |
Meta description | Informatie over de vestigingen, organisatie en studiemogelijkheden. | 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 67 characters. |
Keywords | ou, www.ou.nl, universiteit, open, open universiteit, openuniversiteit, open universiteit nederland, open universiteit amsterdam, open universiteit groningen, open universiteit utrecht, open universiteit eindhoven, open universiteit heerlen, open universiteit rotterdam, open universiteit den haag, open university of the netherlands, deeltijd, online, afstand, thuis studeren, onderwijsinstelling, hoger onderwijs, universitair onderwijs deeltijd, master, bachelor, opleiding, cursus, psychologie, management, cultuur, milieu, informatica, rechten, deeltijdstudies wo. | 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 | 2.4613 seconds on average | Load speed is a concern and should be improved if and when possible. |
Alexa global | 219 621, as last updated | According to Alexa, the website's popularity is not exactly high. Take this rank with a healthy pinch of salt. |
Total links on homepage | We found 127 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
Number of backlinks | Around 85 | Backlinks is one of the key metrics for search engines. This website seems to have a very low number of backlinks, which means poorer rank in search results. |
Page HTML size | 125.7KB | 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 145.20.124.103. | We are happy to say that the hosting service is provided by a respected company. Physically, the server is located in Utrecht, Provincie Utrecht, Netherlands. |
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 | World Nederlands Onderwijs Hoger Onderwijs Universiteiten en Hogescholen Universiteiten Nederland World Nederlands Onderwijs Afstandsonderwijs World Nederlands Regionaal Nederland Limburg Gemeenten Heerlen Onderwijs |
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 | ncoi.nl scribbr.nl hva.nl tilburguniversity.edu officielebekendmakingen.nl |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as ou.nl, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
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?

Time spent on site | 4:58 | People are in no hurry to leave the website, great! |
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.
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:
