Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | Iowa Department of Natural Resources | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 36. |
| Meta description | State agency maintains state parks and forests, protects the environment, and manages energy, fish, wildlife, and land and water resources. Find a list of state parks, field services, and volunteer opportunities. | 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 212 characters. |
| Load time | 4.9751 seconds on average | Load speed is a concern and should be improved if and when possible. |
| Alexa global | 110 938, as last updated | The site is quite popular, according to Alexa. Take that for what it's worth, though. |
| Quantcast global | 57 090 | The site is well known, judging by QUANTCAST rank. |
| Total links on homepage | We found 914 links | Honestly, this is a strange amount of links for a homepage. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 123 | Such a decent amount of backlinks certainly ads to the ranking. |
| Page HTML size | 288KB | How do we put this... improvement is quite necessary. Load speed is a very important factor in so many ways! |
| Website server | Server appears to be online. The IP address for the server is 165.206.254.90. | We are happy to say that the hosting service is provided by a respected company. Physically, the server is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. |
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 North America United States Iowa Recreation and Sports Regional North America United States Iowa Government Executive |
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 | traveliowa.com mycountyparks.com iowa.gov iowadot.gov iowasportsman.com |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as iowadnr.gov, 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 | 3:03 | 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.
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 44 754 859 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:
