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) | National Rail Enquiries - Official source for UK train times and timetables | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 75. |
Website meta description | Guide to UK national rail services, provided on behalf of the Association of Train Operating Companies. Features journey planner and booking service, real time train running information and details of scheduled engineering work. | The length of the meta description is 228 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
Metadata keywords | national rail, british rail, trains, railway, uk rail travel, train times, train timetables, train information, uk trains, uk railway, late trains | 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 0.0837 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 | 5,074 | The website is very well known according to Alexa. Take that for what it's worth. |
Global rank by Quantcast | 174,488, after last update | Based on the gathered data, Quantcast does not consider this website to be popular. Take it for what it's worth. |
Homepage links | Approximately 102 | A good amount of links and nothing to worry about. |
Pages linking back | We counted 11,153 | A great amount of backlinks. |
Size of page HTML | 72.9KB | 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 72.21.81.253. | The location of the server is in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. The hosting service is provided by a known, trustworthy company. |
Status of domain | Date of registry: 1997-04-08 00:00:00 | Due to lack of data, we can't provide a meaningful insight. nationalrail.co.uk has been registered at Ascio Technologies Inc. Denmark ? filial af Ascio Technologies Inc. USA t/a Ascio Technologies inc |
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 Europe United Kingdom Travel and Tourism Reservations Rail |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |
Similar websites | thetrainline.com tfl.gov.uk virgintrains.co.uk mytrainticket.co.uk nationalexpress.com |
While we can't speak with a hundred percent certainty, these website seem to fall into the same category as nationalrail.co.uk. Thus, they probably target the same audience and, likely, keywords. |
Website safety is a key factor that should not be underestimated. After all, our computers and personal information stored on them are not as secure as one might think - the recent flaws found in microprocessors only confirm this. There is more than one source for finding out if a website is safe to visit or not, some more dependable than others. In this section we'll try to cover all the bases, if at all possible.
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 | 4:08 | 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.
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 67,361,233 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.
If you need more raw data, here's what we managed to gather:
