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) | Pennsylvania Outdoor Lighting Council (POLC): glare, light trespass, energy waste, skyglow, pollution | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 101. |
| Website meta description | Comprehensive information on the latest lighting situation in Pennsylvania with pictures, links, and guidance on how anyone can help. Home of Pennsylvanians for an Outdoor Lighting Control Act (POLCA). | The length of the meta description is 201 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
| Website load speed | Approximately 0.2924 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 | 11,410,212 | We are not fans of the Alexa rank, but if we base our assumptions on it, the website is not that popular. |
| Pages linking back | We counted 19 | 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 | 0.7KB | 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 66.96.149.1. | Due to lack of data, we can't provide a meaningful insight. |
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 | Society Issues Environment Light Pollution |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |
| Similar websites | codeenforcementnews.com footcandle.org illinoislighting.org hopewellbigwoods.org ccas.ws |
While we can't speak with a hundred percent certainty, these website seem to fall into the same category as polcouncil.org. Thus, they probably target the same audience and, likely, keywords. |
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:
