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) | New York State Department of Transportation | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 43. |
| Website meta description | New York State Department of Transportation coordinates operation of transportation facilities and services including highway, bridges, railroad, mass transit, port, waterway and aviation facilities | The length of the meta description is 198 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
| Metadata keywords | NYSDOT, new york, road construction, bridge construction, road work, NYS, contracts, bids, NY, trucking, aviation, GIS, mapping, highway, new york state department of transportation, state highway, roadwork, road conditions, highway construction | Oh. It's unexpected, to put it mildly, to see meta keywords still being used. After all, they are no longer a ranking factor and associate with spam more than anything else. |
| Website load speed | Approximately 0.8657 seconds | Website load speed is on a good level, great! But if an improvement can be made, it's always for the better. |
| Homepage links | Approximately 1 | Such an amount of links on a homepage might raise a question or two. |
| Size of page HTML | 1.6KB | 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 170.3.245.76. | Due to lack of data, we can't provide a meaningful insight. |
The basic overview not enough? Let's dive deeper.
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:
