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) | Lamar University - Texas - Carnegie Doctoral Research University - Lamar University | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 83. |
Website meta description | Home to 15,000 students, Lamar University is one of the fastest growing universities in Texas. LU offers more than 100 programs, from bachelor’s to doctoral degrees. | The length of the meta description is 171 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
Metadata keywords | houston universities, university in texas, universities near houston, college in texas, education doctoral programs | 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 17.3623 seconds | It takes too long to load the website – we would suggest the webmaster to look into it. |
Rank by Alexa | 8,546 | The website is very well known according to Alexa. Take that for what it's worth. |
Global rank by Quantcast | 26,693, after last update | According to Quantcast metris, the website is quite popular. |
Homepage links | Approximately 126 | A good amount of links and nothing to worry about. |
Pages linking back | We counted 72 | 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 | 80.8KB | If it were up to us, we'd urge the webmaster to improve. The result isn't very good, you see. Just saying. |
Server data | Server seems to be online. IP adress for this domain is 147.26.255.248. | The location of the server is in Beaumont, Texas, United States. The hosting service is provided by a known, trustworthy company. |
Status of domain | Date of registry: 1990-04-25 00:00:00 | Due to lack of data, we can't provide a meaningful insight. 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 | Reference Education Colleges and Universities North America United States Texas Lamar University |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |
Similar websites | abdn.ac.uk ctcd.cc.tx.us en.wikipedia.org facebook.com flinders.edu.au hsutx.edu lamar.sona-systems.com lamarcardinals.com lee.edu lit.edu luonline.blackboard.com ncl.ac.uk shsu.edu tamu.edu tamuk.edu thestudentroom.co.uk uh.edu utep.edu uwe.ac.uk |

Frequent visitors of lamar.edu are also interested in these websites. |
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 |
---|---|---|
Approximate monthly visitors | 5.38M | Without taking the size of the target audience into account, we would say the website's not that popular. But, again, that is a somewhat superficial assessment - make your own conclusions. |
Traffic delta | +39.79% | Over the past month, the traffic has increased. |
Average visit time | 00:02:22 | Visitors spend a decent amount of time reading the website. |
lamar.edu Visit Traffic Bounce Rate | 66.83% | A pretty good amount of visitors find valuable information here without going back to search results. |
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.
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 32,444,018 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.
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.
