Incoming links
1,580pages link to this website

Layout
- 1 of the 5 tested pages of this site appear to use tables to layout content. This is very bad, as using tables for layout is not necessary and they should only contain tabular data.
Recommendations
- Change this website to make use of div elements and CSS to create the desired layout.

Images
- Some images (10.0%) don't have defined sizes.

Links
- Some (3.6%) of links in this site could be defined better.
- 8.0 links use duplicate text to point to different pages.
Recommendations
- Links should not repeat the same text to link to different pages. Usually this is a problem where a link is non-descriptive (e.g. 'More').
- 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.

URL format
- A significant proportion (20.0%) of web addresses (URLs) are less than ideal.
- One URL is particularly hard to type or remember.
Recommendations
- 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.
Alternative text
- All images were found to have an appropriate text equivalent. This will help users with visual disabilities use the website and aid legal compliance in many countries.
Inoffensive content
- None of the pages tested will be blocked by filtering systems.
- Filtering systems are used in homes, schools and companies to stop inappropriate content being displayed.
