Analytics software

None of this website is using any recognised analytics software.

It is still possible to gather a great deal of information from your

webserver logs, however complete visitor analysis requires client-side

Javascript or an image not found here.

Note that this test can only detect recognised analytics solutions. If an

analytics solution is new, obscure or used in a non-standard way (e.g. it

has been customised) it may not be detected. You can help improve

Sitescore Test Server by notifying us if this is the case.

Technical recommendations Consider a leading website analytics solution, such as WebTrends or Google

Analytics.

(using CSS).

Wherever possible, a website should define alternative stylesheets for

printing. Printable stylesheets allow for extensive control over the

printed version of a webpage, for instance removing navigation and

adjusting the layout to fit. They are faster and remove the need for

maintaining separate versions of a webpage (e.g. "Click here to print

this page").

Technical recommendations Add printable stylesheets for all pages, wherever possible. In most cases,

websites can share printable stylesheets over many or all pages, as with

screen-based stylesheets.

Use of keywords

The content for this site does not match the desired keywords

at all. The website will probably underperform on search

engines for the desired keywords.

203 keywords ("delaware daycare", "delaware children",

"nanny agency chester county" ...) are never mentioned once in

the text content for this site. Keywords that are not mentioned

clearly have no chance of scoring highly.

The website does not contain enough text which matches the

keywords the website is being promoted for. To rank highly in search

engines it is essential to include substantial text content on the topic

of the desired keywords, and emphasise those keywords properly.

The website also does not appear to emphasise keywords very

well. Important keywords can be more effectively promoted by

putting them in page titles, headings and links. This increases their

prominence to search engines and is a critical first step in Search

Engine Optimisation.

Technical recommendations Consider adding or revising text on the topic of desired keywords, or

Page 7: Sample-Website-Performance-Audit-Report

changing the keywords that this site is promoted for. Ensure that keywords

and the content text broadly match.

Add more emphasis to the desired keywords, by placing them in titles

(<title>), headings (<H1>, <H2> etc) and links.

Desired keywords

Keywords that this website wants to score for, and how well it does so.

Visited links are not distinguished from normal links. For

optimal accessibility it is recommended to distinguish links the user

has already visited - for example, by changing their colour.

Active links are not distinguished from normal links. Active

links are links which the user has selected, for example by clicking on

them or selecting them with the keyboard. For people who are unable

to use a mouse, active links are particularly useful. For optimal

accessibility it is recommended to distinguish active links - for

example, by changing their colour.

Hovered-over links are not distinguished from normal links. It

is not required to change the appearance of a link when the mouse is

hovered over it, however it can aid usability by clarifying what areas

of the screen are clickable.

All of the fonts used by this website are 'web-friendly', which is ideal.

Web-friendly fonts are installed on the vast majority of computers,

and therefore tend to display consistently to nearly all users.

Technical recommendations Wherever possible, define font-sizes as flexible (i.e. use relative sizes).

Specify a distinct visual style for visited links.

Specify a distinct visual style for active links.

Specify a distinct visual style for hovered-over links.

Technical recommendations We suggest a minimum of 30 quality links for any given website, to ensure

it is listed effectively by Google and other major search engines.

A large number of web directories, news and affiliate websites can be

encouraged to link to you for free. Over time any reasonably successful

website should pick up additional links as a matter of course.

Poor

URL format The majority (97.1%) of web addresses (URLs) are less than

ideal.

97.1% of URLs include a file extension. These extensions (html found

33 times, htm found once) appear at the end of web addresses, and

have several negative effects. They make the address harder to

remember or type (particularly for non-technical users), and can

reveal the underlying technology of the website making it very

slightly more vulnerable to hackers. They also tie the implementation

of the website to a specific technology, which can make subsequent

migration of URLs difficult.

Technical recommendations Avoid use of file extensions wherever possible.

Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating

appropriate URLs.

File usage The files in this website are of a fair size (for a 512k Broadband

connection). It could be faster if these were reduced.

The homepage for this site is particularly large and slow to load

(approx 26.4 seconds). A slow homepage is particularly bad, as users

are more likely to leave a slow-loading site on the first page than any

other.

Page 12: Sample-Website-Performance-Audit-Report

On average pages take 7.2 seconds to download on a 512k Broadband

connection. 152 files were found in this website.

2 MIME types appears to be incorrectly setup on the webserver

(text/html was returned for image/jpeg, text/html was returned for

image/gif). Incorrect MIME types may confuse some web browsers or

agents, resulting in missing, incorrectly displayed or non-indexed

content.

Technical recommendations Consider whether any large elements of the website (especially multimedia)

are worth the speed trade-off. Most users prefer a quick and responsive

website to a slow but more attractive one.

Make sure the files on the website are properly optimised to be as small as

possible.

Map the necessary file extensions to the correct MIME type on the webserver.

Metadata Nearly every page was found to include the recommended

minimum metadata.

Metadata provide invisible information about the content of a page,

and has a wide range of applications, particularly for search engines

and website compliance. Public sector websites in particular usually

have to adhere to one or more metadata standards.

� description (8.6% pages missing) - A description of the page

or website, this is important as search engines tend to display

this text in their results pages (SERPs).

This website doesn't make use of Dublin Core or e-GMS metadata.

This is not a problem, unless this website specifically has to adhere to

these standards.

Technical recommendations Define appropriate metadata for all webpages. At an absolute minimum, all

pages should include a description or dc.description meta tag.

Links Some (1.1%) of the links in this site could be defined better.

3 links are weakly described. Common weak link include 'click here'

and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link

points to. Properly linking using one or more descriptive words (e.g.

'News', 'September 2008 financial results') benefits search engine

optimisation for those words and aids accessibility.

Note that is is possible to change the text a link point to without

changing the appearance of the link. For example, Read more could

be a valid link, if you add a title description to it.

Technical recommendations Ensure that all links either use appropriate link text, or specify appropriate

text in the title attibute for the link where this is not appropriate.

Flash animation can be appropriate for some websites, when used

correctly - e.g. as an extension to existing HTML content on a page, or

to narrate a user through a case study. There are some occasions where

it is not appropriate to use Flash at all.

Images On average there are 3.2 unique images per page. 2.9% of

pages do not contain a single unique image.

Unique images are not essential for every page. However to maximize

aesthetic appeal, top-level pages should ideally feature at least one

unique image.

Some images (7.3%) don't have defined sizes. Defining an image

size allows the webpage to display layout correctly before loading all of

the images. Not specifying image often causes the layout of pages to

change as the page loads.

This is not a critical issue, however we recommend image sizes are

defined wherever possible.

Technical recommendations Include at least one unique image per page wherever possible.

This is a crucial first step for any website, as it ensures search engines,

users with disabilities and users without Javascript enabled can access

all of the pages. This will help search engine rankings and accessibility.

It is possible that some part of this website is non-spiderable, but that

the means used to access that content is beyond my ability to detect it.

(For example, a login area that I don't have details for). You can

optionally choose to add these sections yourselves. Read the Help for

more information.

URL chopping This website handles 'chopped' URLs correctly.

A chopped URL is where part of an address is cut off at a forward

slash, for example reducing www.example.com/news/acticle1/

to www.example.com/news/. Handling these chopped addresses

will aid both users and search engines visiting this website. Users

may experiment with chopping parts of the URL out manually,

particularly if they are using a popular plugin like Google Toolbar,

which allows them to do this with a single mouse click. Some search

engines also experiment with chopping up URLs to explore more

pages.

Contact details

2 different email addresses were found in this website. 46

different phone numbers were found in this website. No

addresses were found in this website.

Because these contact details were detected automatically by

software, it is possible some other details have been omitted.

Any email addresses that can be detected by this test are much more

susceptible to spam. Spammers routinely crawl pages in a similar

way to harvest new addresses to send spam to. This doesn't mean

you shouldn't put email addresses on your website - but do so

carefully.

Technical recommendations Check all contact details are correct. Consider carefully what email

addresses should be listed on your website, as they will be much more

susceptible to spam. If an email address has been on your website for some

time, there is probably little benefit from removing it.

Information

Key pages 199 internal links were found pointing to 34 pages in this

website.

Pages which are linked to extensively are given proportionally higher

weight in search engines, and are more likely to be visited by users.

It can be helpful to review these 'key pages' particularly for search

engines.

You will normally find that pages in your top level navigation appear

highest here.

Technical recommendations Ensure that specific pages you wish to score highly in search engines are

well linked to in your site. Avoid simply linking to every page equally, or

linking to too many pages - the positive effect will be lost.
