Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Website meta title | The Forge Web Creations | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 23. |
Meta description | Web agency based in Cape Town. Services include design, development, maintenance and hosting. | 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 93 characters. |
Load time | 2.9822 seconds on average | Load speed is a concern and should be improved if and when possible. |
Alexa global | 972 465, 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 1 links | Honestly, this is a strange amount of links for a homepage. |
Number of backlinks | Around 1 288 | If even half of these are high quality, it speaks volumes of the website's worth. |
Page HTML size | 0.7KB | 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 197.221.2.20. | 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 Africa South Africa Business and Economy Computers and Internet Web Design and Development |
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 | refresh.co.za paygate.co.za websitedesigncapetown.com setcom.co.za froggdesigns.co.za |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as theforge.co.za, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
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:
