Top priorities for website improvement
- Check how the website looks using a mobile and a tablet. Consider adding mobile-only styling using media queries. Some websites employ other techniques for mobile visitors which we cannot currently detect. (read more)
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor tag to benefit search engine optimisation. (read more)
- Sign up for a Twitter account and make sure it is linked to from your site. (read more)
Twitter0.0

- This website did not contain a link to Twitter.
- Sign up for a Twitter account and make sure it is linked to from your site.
Mobile2.6
- None of this website appears to be fully optimised for viewing on a mobile or tablet (using CSS media queries). It is important to make sure your content can be viewed easily across a wide range of devices as a growing percentage of web browsing is now done on phones and tablets.
- Check how the website looks using a mobile and a tablet. Consider adding mobile-only styling using media queries. Some websites employ other techniques for mobile visitors which we cannot currently detect.

- Check how the website looks using a mobile and a tablet. Consider adding mobile-only styling using media queries. Some websites employ other techniques for mobile visitors which we cannot currently detect.
- This website was found to use elements of Adobe Flash. Flash is commonly used to add interactivity or video to a website, but it can only be viewed on devices which have the Flash plugin. The Flash plugin is not available to many mobile phones and tablets so they cannot view Flash content. Additionally, web spiders like Google also have problems spidering Flash based content, so heavy use of Flash may not be good for SEO.
- Consider the use of Flash carefully. Where possible, change elements made in Flash for HTML equivalents. If this is not possible, try and provide a Flash alternative.

Internal links5.7
- 53 links are weakly described. Common weak links include 'click here' and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link points to.
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor tag to benefit search engine optimisation.
Weak link text
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor tag to benefit search engine optimisation.
- 3 links have no text describing their destination. Links on a page should describe their destination for the benefit of both screen readers and search engine spiders.
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Server behaviour6.4
404 page
Compression
- This website does not return a 404 error HTTP status code for missing pages. This is bad because search engines like Google might mistake this for a real page of content.
- Ensure your web server returns a 404 HTTP status code for error pages.
- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.
- This website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on the URLs. Search engines might see these as separate pages with duplicate content which they could penalise for.
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
- This website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect from http://www.unbridledbooks.com to http://unbridledbooks.com. This is ideal.
URL format7.6
2 URLs are less than ideal
- 2 URLs are particularly hard to type or remember.
- Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs. URLs using unusual characters (such as semi-colons or underscores), long numerals or complex phrasing are very difficult for real people to use or exchange. They also tend to be less favoured by search engines. Wherever possible ensure web addresses are 'human readable' - i.e. they should be easy to read, remember and type. In particular, avoid the use of obscure characters (including the underscore, which is not widely understood by non-technical users, or particularly memorable) and long numerals, e.g. example.com/23857984325.
Images8.5
77% of images have a clearly defined size
65 images are being resized by the browser
- Some images (23.0%) don't have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. These attributes are optional, but strongly recommended as they help the browser arrange the page more quickly.
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
Non Explicitly Sized Images
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
- 65 images are being stretched in the browser.
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
Stretched Images
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
Headings9.0
- All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarise the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
- Some headings (0.0%) were found to be empty, or incorrectly defined. Empty or invalid headings are of no value to search engines and make a website less accessible.
- Make sure all headings have content which is relevant to the page of content.
- Some pages did not define headings correctly. The H1 tag should be used for the most top-level heading, with H2 being used for sub-headings and H3 for further sub-headings and so-on. Not conforming to this convention may confuse visitors.
- Ensure that headings are defined in a semantically correct way, i.e. always start with a H1 tag. This is used to summarise the page content. Further tags (H2, H3, H4 etc) are meant to summarise and partition sections within the content.
