Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | HackThis!! - The Hackers Playground | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 35. |
| Meta description | Want to learn about hacking, hackers and network security. Try our hacking challenges or join our community to discuss the latest software and cracking tools. | 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 158 characters. |
| Keywords | hack this, hackers playground, hacking challenges, hacking forums, hackers, website security, how to secure a website, how to hack, articles, network security | We did not expect meta keywords to be used. It's a worrying sign more than anything, really, as websites with meta keywords often tend to be spammy. |
| Load time | 0.3822 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Alexa global | 262 076, 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 24 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Page HTML size | 6.3KB | 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 213.168.248.249. | 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 | Business and Industry Computer and Electronics > Software People and Society Computer and Electronics > Computer Security |
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 | baekdal.com bright-shadows.net crackmes.de darknet.org.uk dvwa.co.uk github.com hacker.org hackergames.net hackervoice.co.uk hackquest.de hackthissite.org hellboundhackers.org honeynet.org irongeek.com owasp.org try2hack.nl |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as hackthis.co.uk, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
| Also of interest | yeuctf.blogspot.com cyber-security-center.com styleclass1.com hackblog.certifiedsecure.org store.certifiedsecure.org |
There is a good chance that the people interested in hackthis.co.uk 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 | 160.54K | 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 | +72.26% | The past month has seen growth in overall estimated traffic. |
| Time spent on site | 00:07:46 | People are in no hurry to leave the website, great! |
| hackthis.co.uk Traffic Bounce Rate | 20.05% | A great result and shows that the content is of good enough depth and quality for most readers. |
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:
