Website Performance – The Geeky Part

What, all that information was not enough? You want... more? Right, then. You asked for it.

www.gov.bw In Detail

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.

www.gov.bw Visitor Information

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?

Website load speed analysis

• The homepage takes approximately 3.1253 seconds to load. How do we put this... improvement is quite necessary. Load speed is a very important factor in so many ways!
• The HTML of the website weighs in at around 54.4 kilobytes. We don't think 54.4 KBs is something to worry about.
• There are at least 10 images on the homepage of this website. We are glad to say that such an amount should not impact the load speed of the website. Great result!
• We've counted at least 42 server requests before the homepage was fully loaded. Every server request made increases the load time of a website. Thankfully, this is a pleasingly low amount.

Alexa ranking in-depth

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.

• www.gov.bw takes up 911 121 place globally, according to Alexa. We made sure to update this information on 2017-09-15.
• Compare the current rank to all-time best of 44 069, which this website enjoyed on 2014-05-01.
• Over the last three months, the position has changed by 8648030.
• On the other end of the scale, the worst rank ever was 911 121, rated on 2017-09-15. Compare that to the current rank to see a marked improvement, even if of debatable importance.
• Given all the numbers, the average Global rank is at 242 299.
• When compared to Botswana websites, www.gov.bw ranks in 10 place.

Detailed Host Server Information

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.

• The website's server IP address is 168.167.134.25.
• Server appears to be online.
