Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 44. |
| Meta description | Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters. Timely news source for technology related news with a heavy slant towards Linux and Open Source issues. | 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 149 characters. |
| Load time | 1.3356 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Total links on homepage | We found 268 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Page HTML size | 132.5KB | Load speed (and overall responsiveness) is such an important factor for both search engines and user experience, would you not agree? With that in mind, this is a very good result. |
| Website server | Server appears to be online. The IP address for the server is 216.34.181.48. | 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 | Games > Video Games Games News and Media Computer and Electronics > Software |
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 | alterslash.org ask.metafilter.com askamanager.org flickr.com foxbusiness.com kuro5hin.org lcwlegal.com money.usnews.com ndt.anl.gov songmu.jp stuffnerdpeoplelike.blogspot.com technorati.com theruntime.com |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as ask.slashdot.org, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
| Also of interest | nextcloud.robertsmits.be askslashdot.srad.jp nohau.eu jaapsch.net orbiter-forum.com |
There is a good chance that the people interested in ask.slashdot.org find something of use on these websites, too. |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly traffic | 334.93K | In the grand scheme of things, the website is not exactly a giant in terms of traffic. But the target audience should be taken into account, too. |
| Visitor delta | -20.66% | Lately, the website's been receiving less traffic. |
| Time spent on site | 00:00:32 | We'd argue that average visit time should be improved. The best way to do it, we think, is by providing capticating quality content. |
| ask.slashdot.org Traffic Bounce Rate | 66.65% | A decent amount of visitors seem to find valuable information on this website. |
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:
