Perhaps the most relevant statistics data that we could gather is presented here:
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Site title (meta) | Language selection - Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Main Site / Sélection de la langue - Site principal d\'Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 209. |
Website meta description | Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Main Site | The length of the meta description is 61 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
Website load speed | Approximately 0.7822 seconds | Website load speed is on a good level, great! But if an improvement can be made, it's always for the better. |
Rank by Alexa | 31,340 | The site is among the more popular ones, according to Alexa. How accurate the rank is remains a question. |
Homepage links | Approximately 4 | Such an amount of links on a homepage might raise a question or two. |
Pages linking back | We counted 107 | Such a low amount of backlinks is insufficient and either shows the website is of low quality, or does not reach a wide audience. |
Size of page HTML | 5.5KB | This is a very good result, as search engines prioritize websites that are quick to load. |
Server data | Server seems to be online. IP adress for this domain is 192.197.183.149. | The location of the server is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The hosting service is provided by a known, trustworthy company. |
The basic overview not enough? Let's dive deeper.
A website is not just Quantcast ranks and meta information. There is a whole lot more to it. Let's give it a proper look now, shall we?
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Categories of the website | Regional North America Canada Government Departments and Agencies Industry World Français Régional Amérique Canada Etat et politique Ministères Industrie |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |
Similar websites | canadabusiness.ca yellowpages.ca canada.ca glassdoor.ca 411.ca |
While we can't speak with a hundred percent certainty, these website seem to fall into the same category as ic.gc.ca. Thus, they probably target the same audience and, likely, keywords. |
The following statistics are provided only as an approximation. We can't guarantee the numbers are absolutely correct, but we do believe they are very much within the ballpark and, as such, can give a pretty good idea about the popularity of this website.
Let's start with some telling numbers and then break it all down.
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Average visit time | 3:24 | This is a good amount of time for visitors to spend on the website on average, great result! |
Alexa, perhaps the oldest ranking system of its sort, bases it's website rating on approximated number of visitors of a specific page. In other words, the more visitors, the higher the global and local ranks. As of recently, Alexa has well over four million websites ranked. Having said all that, Alexa rank should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a massive bucketload. In other words, we think it to be greatly overrated, as it never takes into account how popular a website is within its niche.
What is a server? It's basically a physical storage device (one that, sometimes, makes up several virtual servers for the cheaper shared hosting) that holds all the files and databases associated with a specific website or websites. Obviously, it's a touch more complicated than that (servers also have processors), but the essence is quite simple - your browser contacts the server, which then sends all the neccessary information and files to your computer. Each physical server has a unique IP address assigned to it, too, for easy recognition.
If you need more raw data, here's what we managed to gather:
