Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | The CERT Division | SEI | CMU | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 29. |
| Meta description | Studies Internet security vulnerabilities, provides incident response services to sites that have been the victims of attack, publishes a variety of security alerts, researches security and survivability in wide-area-networked computing, and develops information to improve site security. | 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 288 characters. |
| Load time | 1.0224 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Alexa global | 90 472, as last updated | The site is quite popular, according to Alexa. Take that for what it's worth, though. |
| Quantcast global | 652 345 | 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 147 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 4 029 | If even half of these are high quality, it speaks volumes of the website's worth. |
| Page HTML size | 42.8KB | 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 128.237.30.13. | 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 | Reference Education Colleges and Universities North America United States Pennsylvania Carnegie Mellon University Computers Security News and Media Computers Security Advisories and Patches |
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 | antionline.com csrc.nist.gov eicar.org en.wikipedia.org esecurityplanet.com first.org grc.com insecure.org isc2.org microsoft.com rsa.com sans.org seclists.org securiteam.com securityfocus.com us-cert.gov |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as cert.org, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
| Also of interest | freundevonfreunden.com securityintelligence.com us-cert.gov nartac.com intranet.conti.de |
There is a good chance that the people interested in cert.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 | 239.51K | 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 | -10.41% | Lately, the website's been receiving less traffic. |
| Time spent on site | 2:49 | This is a decent average time spent on a website. |
| cert.org Traffic Bounce Rate | 55.39% | A decent amount of visitors seem to find valuable information on this 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 290 421 244 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:
