Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | Home | The Institute of Ismaili Studies | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 39. |
| Meta description | Promotes scholarship and learning on Islam, with an emphasis on Shi'ism in general and its Ismaili Tariqah in particular. Includes information on research and teaching programs, publications and events. | 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 202 characters. |
| Load time | 0.2446 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Alexa global | 322 046, 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 107 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 1 889 | If even half of these are high quality, it speaks volumes of the website's worth. |
| Page HTML size | 55.1KB | 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 107.21.104.61. | We are happy to say that the hosting service is provided by a respected company. Physically, the server is located in Ashburn, Virginia, United States. |
| Domain overview | Registered on before Aug-1996 bef | 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 | Society Religion and Spirituality Islam Shia Ismaili Society Religion and Spirituality Islam Education Islamic Studies Regional Europe United Kingdom Society and Culture Religion Islam Education |
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 | ismailimail.wordpress.com ismaili.net the.ismaili akdn.org simerg.com |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as iis.ac.uk, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Time spent on site | 3:29 | People are in no hurry to leave the website, great! |
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:

A good domain address is usually one that is easy to spell, resulting in the smallest amount of mistypes possible. Still, such a thing inevitably happens. Here is a list with the most frequent 1122 mistypes, associated with iis.ac.uk:
