Here is an overview of what we consider to be the key website statistics and information:
| Parameter name | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Website meta title | National Union of Students | Search engines recommend title length of around 50-60 characters. The length of this title is 26. |
| Meta description | The national body representing students both in higher and further education. Profile, services, campaigns and news. | 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 116 characters. |
| Keywords | student life, student advice, money, funding, student loans, student travel, student housing, ethical living, freshers, volunteering, course problems, gap year travel, careers advice, postgraduate study, student discount, discounts, student offers, offers, exclusive offers, deals, 10% off, discounted prices, NUS Extra, discount card, savings, competitions, cheap prices, student loan, NUS, National Union of Students, NUS Services, student marketing, student marketing specialists, students, students' unions, national union of students, student marketing, youth marketing, democracy, campaigns, student voice, student politics, student welfare, student advice, membership organisation, international students, black students, LGBT students, higher education, further education, student loans, university, studying, degree, ema, education maintenance allowance, broke and broken <meta name= | 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 | 1.2349 seconds on average | Website load speed is pretty fast. |
| Alexa global | 83 495, as last updated | The site is quite popular, according to Alexa. Take that for what it's worth, though. |
| Total links on homepage | We found 86 links | This is a normal amount of links. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 102 | Backlinks is one of the key metrics for search engines. This website seems to have a very low number of backlinks, which means poorer rank in search results. |
| Page HTML size | 36.9KB | 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 85.90.253.69. | 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 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. At this time, domain nus.org.uk is registered at Sitewizard 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 | Society Organizations Student Student Government College and University Associations Regional Europe United Kingdom Education Higher and Further Education Student Unions National Union of Students |
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 | nusextra.co.uk studentbeans.com studentmoneysaver.co.uk myunidays.com slc.co.uk |
These are the websites that fall into the same category as nus.org.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 | 2:07 | This is a decent average time spent on a 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.
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:
