Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
Parameter name | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
Website meta title | Global News | Latest & Current News - Weather, Sports & Health News | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 75. |
Meta description | Global News - breaking news & current latest Canadian news headlines; national weather forecasts & predictions, local news videos, money and financial news; sports stats and scores. | 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 190 characters. |
Load time | 0.9112 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
Alexa global | 4 415, as last updated | According to Alexa, the website is frequently visited and is very popular. |
Quantcast global | 9 536 | Judging by Quantcast rating, we can assume the website in question is very well known. |
Total links on homepage | We found 446 links | Honestly, this is a strange amount of links for a homepage. |
Number of backlinks | Around 240 608 | If even half of these are high quality, it speaks volumes of the website's worth. |
Page HTML size | 146.5KB | 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 192.0.79.33. | We are happy to say that the hosting service is provided by a respected company. Physically, the server is located in San Francisco, California, United States. |
Domain overview | Registered on 2002-02-13 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 globalnews.ca is registered at Webnames.ca Inc. |
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 | News and Media Arts and Entertainment > Music and Audio News and Media > Newspapers Business and Industry |
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 | castanet.net cbc.ca ctvnews.ca desjardins.com globalmontreal.com globaltv.com globaltvbc.com globaltvcalgary.com huffingtonpost.ca nascar.com nationalpost.com shawconnect.ca theglobeandmail.com thestar.com torontosun.com |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as globalnews.ca, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
Also of interest | ctvnews.ca winnipeg.ctvnews.ca cknw.com saskatoon.ctvnews.ca bc.ctvnews.ca |
There is a good chance that the people interested in globalnews.ca find something of use on these websites, too. |
Now this is rather important. With viruses and malware so dominant these days, website safety is among the key ratings. It's importance is such that a website marked as unsafe is more than likely not to rank at all, let alone on the first page. Now, some sources are more reliable than others, but we'll try to present you with all the information we've managed to gather, along with some relevant commentary.
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 | 22.75M | Suffice to say, the website is massively popular. |
Visitor delta | +6.37% | The past month has seen growth in overall estimated traffic. |
Time spent on site | 2:36 | This is a decent average time spent on a website. |
globalnews.ca Traffic Bounce Rate | 65.44% | 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 10 580 832 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:
