5  top priorities for your website

  1. Generate a WooRank report of your website

Visitors

Alexa rank

976

Show advice
High impact

A low rank means that your website gets lots of visitors.

Your Alexa Rank is a good estimate of worldwide traffic to your website, although it is not 100% accurate.

Reviewing the most visited websites by country can give you valuable insights.

Quantcast provides similar services.

Traffic estimation

800,000 to 5,000,000 visitors/month
Show advice

We use several different tools to estimate web traffic: Google™ Ad Planner, Google™ Trends, and Alexa.

Nevertheless, your analytics will provide the accurate traffic data.

Compete rank

22,131
Show advice
High impact

Compete Rank estimates traffic from visitors in the USA.

Content

Indexed pages

13,800,000
Show advice
High impact
Difficult to solve

This is the number of pages on your website that are indexed by Google™.

The more pages that search engines index, the better.

A low number (relative to the total number of pages/URLs on your website) probably indicates that your internal link architecture needs improvement and is preventing Search engines from crawling all pages on your website.

Resource: Check here to see if your content has been plagiarized. Then make test with specified keywords in the search engine to analyze your relative position for these keywords.

In-Site SEO

Home analysis

URL

http://apache.org

Length: 6 characters

Show advice

Keep your URLs short. If possible, avoid long domain names.

A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).

Keep in mind that URLs are an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy.

Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.

Resource: Search for a good domain name here. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain from Sedo.

To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.

Title

Welcome to The Apache Software Foundation!

Length: 42 characters

Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Your title contains between 10 and 70 characters, which is great.

Make sure your title is explicit and contains your most important keywords.

Be sure that each page has a unique title.

Resource: Use this snippet-optimizer to see how your titles and descriptions will look in Google&trade search results.

Meta description

Missing

Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Meta descriptions allow you to influence how your web pages are described and displayed in search results.

Your meta description should contain between 70 and 160 characters (spaces included).

Ensure that your meta description is explicit and contains your most important keywords.

Also be sure that each page has a unique meta description.

Meta keywords

Missing

Show advice

Meta keywords is used to indicate keywords that are supposedly relevant to your website's content. However, because search engine spammers have abused this tag, it provides little to no benefit to your search rankings.

Low impact
Easy to solve

Your website is structured using HTML headings/levels (<H1> to <H6>), which is great.

Use your keywords in the headings. Make sure the first level (<H1>) includes your most important keywords.

For greater SEO, only use one <H1> title per page.

Images

We found 1 images on this website.

No alt attributes are empty or missing!

Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Most or all of your images have alternative text (the alt attribute), which is good.

Alternative text describes your images so they can appear in Google&trade Images search results.

Check the images on your website and make sure effective ALT text is specified for each image.

Restrict the number and size of images to optimize your website's page load times.

Resource: Use the Wayback Machine to review the design of any website in the past.

Text/HTML ratio

28% (view text)

Show advice
High impact
Difficult to solve

Your website's ratio of text to HTML code is higher than 15%, which is great.

Although your text/code ratio is good, you can always improve it by adding more text content to your pages.

Higher ratios boost SEO by increasing keyword density.

Frames

No
Show advice
Low impact
Difficult to solve

There are no frames used on your homepage, which is great.

Frames can cause problems for search engines because they don't correspond to the conceptual model of the web. Avoid frames whenever possible.

Flash

No
Show advice
Low impact
Difficult to solve

No Flash content has been detected on your homepage, which is good.

Flash should only be used for specific enhancements. Avoid full Flash websites to maximize SEO.

Although Flash content often looks nicer, it cannot be indexed by search engines (however this may change in the near future).

This advice also applies to AJAX (however this may also change in the near future).

Use Google™ Webmaster Tool to improve the way search engines index your website.

Website compliance

www resolve

Be careful! Your website without www doesn't redirect to www (or the opposite). It's duplicate content!
Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Be sure that http://apache.org and http://www.apache.org are not running in parallel.

Redirecting requests from a non-preferred hostname is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.

Once your preferred domain is set, use a 301 redirect for all traffic to your non-preferred domain.

robots.txt

http://www.apache.org/robots.txt
Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Your website has a robots.txt file, which is great.

A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web, and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.

Click here to check your robots.txt file for syntax errors.

XML Sitemaps

Missing
Show advice
Low impact
Easy to solve

Your website does not have an XML sitemap, which can be problematic.

A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like last update, frequency of changes, and importance. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.

Click here to generate an XML sitemap for your website.

Despite sporadic debates regarding this issue, we recommend that you submit an XML sitemap to Google™ Webmasters Tools and to Yahoo Site Explorer.

Language

  • Declared: en
  • Detected: en
Show advice
Low impact
Easy to solve

You have specified the language of your website, which is great.

Make sure your declared language is the same as the language detected by Google™.

    Tips for multilingual websites:

    Doctype

    HTML 4.01 Transitional
    Show advice

    Declaring a doctype helps web browsers to render content correctly.

    Encoding

    UTF-8
    Show advice
    Low impact
    Easy to solve

    Language/character encoding is specified, which is great.

    Specifying language/character encoding can prevent problems with the rendering of special characters.

    Google Analytics

    No
    Show advice
    Low impact
    Easy to solve

    Your website is not monitored by Google™ Analytics.

    You're really missing a great opportunity if you don't have this or another analytics tool installed.

    With Google™ Analytics, you can analyze your traffic data in an entirely new way and create higher conversion rates.

    W3C validity

    Invalid
    Show advice
    Low impact
    Difficult to solve

    Use valid markup that contains no errors. Syntax errors can make your page difficult for search engines to index.

    To fix the detected errors, run the W3C validation service.

    W3C is a consortium that sets the web standards.

    Microformats

    Missing
    Show advice
    Low impact
    Easy to solve

    Your website does not take advantage of Microformats.

    Geo Meta Tags

    Missing
    Show advice
    Low impact

    Although Google™ ignores Geo-Meta Tags, the search engine Bing takes them into account.

    If Google's™ cache of your website lacks text or links, there's probably a programming problem.

    Old domains are ranked higher by search engines and yield better SEO results.

    Google™ temporarily reduces the page rank of new domains, placing them into a "sandbox".

    Using a domain that has been registered for many years can mitigate this effect.
