Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | The Driving School Directory - The UK\'s number one driving school directory | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 81. |
| Meta description | Directory offering a search facility and related links. | 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 55 characters. |
| Load time | 0.0893 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Alexa global | 8 865 935, 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 21 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 929 | Such a decent amount of backlinks certainly ads to the ranking. |
| Page HTML size | 6.9KB | 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 78.46.194.9. | It's unfortunate, but despite our best attempts, we failed to gather enough data to provide a meaningful insight at this time. |
| Domain overview | Registered on 1998-12-09 00:00:00 | It's unfortunate, but despite our best attempts, we failed to gather enough data to provide a meaningful insight at this time. At this time, domain driving-schools.co.uk is registered at Gradwell Communications Limited t/a Gradwell Communications Limited |
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 Europe United Kingdom Education Specialised Instruction Driving Tuition Directories |
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 | drivingschoolsaround.co.uk goinstructor.co.uk drivingschoolsfinder.co.uk thinkdrivingschool.co.uk gavinhouseinstructor.co.uk |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as driving-schools.co.uk, 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:
