Website SEO Analysis
In-Depth

Detailed Website Analysis

The basic overview not enough? Let's dive deeper.

Page speed overview

• It takes around 0.4552 seconds for the homepage to fully load. This is a very good result, as search engines prioritize websites that are quick to load.
• It's worth to note the HTML of the page is around 184 kilobytes in size. A good result that should not impact load speed in any negative way.
• Judging by tags, the homepage contains at least 142 images. This is an ok number of images to have. Not too many, but not too few, either.
• Our database tells us around 194 server requests are made before the homepage is loaded completely. Wow, that's a lot. Certainly, so many server requests contribute to slower page load times.

Alexa rank up close and personal

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.

• Alexa claims news.ch takes up 995,068 place globally, among all the indexed websites. We updated this information on 2018-01-03.
• Compare that to the best rank this website has taken 2014-08-19, which is 72,799.
• The delta of this rank over the last three months is around 71273.
• As far as we know, the worst position for news.ch was 996,924 (on 2017-05-28).
• The average Alexa rank for news.ch is 344,184 at this time.

QUANTCAST rating in detail

QUANTCAST is very similar to Alexa, though perhaps enjoys an overall better user opinion even if, by comparison, the data processing company's rank index is smaller. The main interest of QUANTCAST is real-time audience analysis, so again the rank is based on traffic. QUANTCAST gathers this data mainly for advertising purposes of other companies. We know that, so far, QUANTCAST has ranked 16,048,622 websites, give or take a few. With all of this said, Quantcast rank is not really any more useful than that of Alexa and most similar ranking systems. Few of them, if any, take context into account and rate websites purely on traffic numbers (guesstimated, in so many cases). It's by far not the most accurate representation of a website's worth.

• As reported by Quantcast, the website takes up 291,537 place globally. This rating was last checked on 2014-12-12.
• The best Quantcast rank of 291,475 was achieved on 2014-12-09.
• As far as we know, the worst position for news.ch was 292,104 (on 2014-11-14).

Host Server In-Depth

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.

• The current IP address for this website's server is 194.230.72.44.
• Server seems to be online.
