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) | Randolph College | Private Liberal Arts & Sciences Education | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 60. |
Website meta description | Founded in 1891, Randolph College is rooted in liberal arts and sciences. | The length of the meta description is 73 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
Metadata keywords | randolph college, lynchburg, virginia, private, top ranked professors, liberal arts, sciences, nationally recognized, sustainable campus, best colleges | 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 3.2239 seconds | It takes too long to load the website – we would suggest the webmaster to look into it. |
Rank by Alexa | 661,282 | We are not fans of the Alexa rank, but if we base our assumptions on it, the website is not that popular. |
Global rank by Quantcast | 232,428, 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 118 | A good amount of links and nothing to worry about. |
Pages linking back | We counted 383 | A good amount of backlinks to improve ranking, though there is always room for more. |
Size of page HTML | 110.9KB | 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 192.149.97.6. | 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 Virginia Randolph College |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |

While we can't speak with a hundred percent certainty, these website seem to fall into the same category as randolphcollege.edu. Thus, they probably target the same audience and, likely, keywords. |

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 | 82.23K | 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 | -18.39% | The number of visitors has decreased compared to the month before. |
Average visit time | 00:02:34 | Visitors spend a decent amount of time reading the website. |
randolphcollege.edu Visit Traffic Bounce Rate | 31.32% | Most visitors seem to stop their searches when on this website and find what they are looking for. |
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 146,189,568 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:
