Semantic HTML0.5
3 pages do not use Semantic HTML
1 pages use tables for layout
- 3 of the pages of this website were found to use presentational HTML elements. It is widely regarded that use of presentational elements like <font> and <marquee> should be avoided in favour of CSS and JavaScript alternatives.

URL format4.8
4 URLs are less than ideal
- The majority (80.0%) of web addresses (URLs) are less than ideal.
- One URL is particularly hard to type or remember.
- 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. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.
- 80.0% of URLs include a file extension.
- Avoid use of file extensions wherever possible. File extensions appear at the end of web addresses, and have several negative effects. They make the address harder to remember or type (particularly for non-technical users), and can reveal the underlying technology of the website making it very slightly more vulnerable to hackers. They also tie the implementation of the website to a specific technology, which can make subsequent migration of URLs difficult. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.

- Resolve the validation errors that are listed in the table below. These errors are preventing this website from being fully W3C compliant.

Analytics8.0
80% of pages use analytics
Google Analytics v2
- 80.0% of this website is using some form of analytics software. It is still possible to gather a great deal of information for the other 20.0% of pages from webserver logs, however complete visitor analysis requires client-side Javascript or an image not found here.
- Consider adding the analytics solution to the other pages which aren't currently monitored.
- Note that this test can only detect recognised analytics solutions. If an analytics solution is new, obscure or used in a non-standard way (e.g. it has been customised) it may not be detected.
Printability8.0
80% of pages are optimised for printing
- The majority (80.0%) of this website appears to be optimised for printing (using CSS).
- Add printable stylesheets for all pages, wherever possible. In most cases, websites can share printable stylesheets over many or all pages, as with screen-based stylesheets.
Duplicate content8.0
302 Redirect in place
- This website uses a temporary (HTTP 302) redirect from http://avh.org.uk to http://www.avh.org.uk. This is OK, but a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect is considered best practice.
- If possible, change the temporary redirect to a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect.
Links9.2
- Some of the links in this site could be defined better.
- Badly defined links can cause problems for visitors who are not using a visual web browser, such as those with a visual impairment using a screen reader.
- One link has no text describing its destination
- Links should describe what they link to for the benefit of both screenreader software and search engine spiders. It is possible that you have applied a link to an image and are relying on the user having a visual browser. Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.
Inoffensive content10.0
Very unlikely to be blocked by a content filtering system
- None of the pages tested will be blocked by filtering systems.
Page titles10.0
100% of pages have defined titles
0% of page titles are weak
- All pages were found to use page titles appropriately. Page titles appear in search results and at the top of the browser's window when visiting the site. Appropriate page titles are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
Headings10.0
100% of pages have defined headings
- 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.
