Analytics8.0
80% of pages use analytics
Multiple Analytics Solutions
- 80.0% of this website is using some form of analytics software but 1 pages have no analytics. It is still possible to gather a great deal of information for the other 1 of pages from webserver logs, however complete visitor analysis requires client-side Javascript or an image not found here.
- Consider adding your analytics solution to the 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.

Page titles8.0
100% of pages have defined titles
40% of page titles are weak
- All pages were found to specify page titles, but 2.0% pages have relatively weak titles which could be improved. 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.
- Make sure that all pages have a descriptive title. Do not include the address of the page in the title, try not to use excessive punctuation and avoid common words like 'page'.
Page titles
| Page title | Notes |
| Dreadlocks Sydney | Dreadlock Extensions Dreads Loc Maintenance | OK |
| Dreadlocks in Sydney | Dreads Sydney | Sydney Dreadlocks |Natural | This title appears to be overly complex. Consider a more meaningful title |
| Dreadlocks extension Sydney| Dreadlocks extension|Dread extension | OK |
| Dread Mohawk | Dreadhawk | Mohawk Dreads | Viking Dreadhawk | This title appears to be overly complex. Consider a more meaningful title |
| Dreadlock Maintenance Sydney|Dreadlocks Maintenance|Dread Repair | OK |
Images8.0
100% of images have a clearly defined size
139 images are being resized by the browser
- All images 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.
- 139 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.
Server behaviour8.2
404 page
Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- 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, but each page has a canonical tag to denote the correct version. This is ideal, as search engines will know which version to index.
- There is duplicate content on http://www.dreadlockssydney.com and http://dreadlockssydney.com. This is bad, as technically they are classed as two different websites. Search engines may lower a website's rank if they find the same content on two different URLs.
- Choose one domain that you would like to use and then set a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect to forward users who visit the other.
Internal links8.6
- One link is 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 text to benefit search engine optimisation.
Weak link text
Link URL Link text Page URL dreadlockssydney.com/services/choosing-the-right-dreadlock-artist Read more dreadlockssydney.com/
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
- 8 links use text that is too long. Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
Overly long link text

- Consider shortening long anchor text.
- 5 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.
Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Headings9.2
- 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.
- Many headings (15.0%) 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.
