| Parameter name | Status | Comment |

It's a worrying sign more than anything, really, as websites with meta keywords often tend to be spammy. |
| Load time | 4.82 seconds on average | Load speed is a concern and should be improved if and when possible. |
| Alexa global | 8 817 133, 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 427 links | Honestly, this is a strange amount of links for a homepage. |
| Number of backlinks | Around 18 | 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 | 158KB | 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 66.96.149.2. | 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.

These are the websites that fall into the same category as studentunion.ca, and so target the same audience and, likely, keywords. To a larger or smaller extent, all of them are competitors. |
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.
