Top priorities for website improvement
- Define meaningful headings for all webpages. This is likely to help this website's search engine placement and assist visitors in navigating content. (read more)
- Sign up for a Twitter account and make sure it is linked to from your site. (read more)
- Consider shortening long anchor text. (read more)
Twitter0.0
This website does not appear to be associated with a Twitter account.
- 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.
Headings4.0
- A significant amount (20.0%) of pages do not use defined headings. This means that users and search engines may find it harder to determine the content of this website's pages. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
- Define meaningful headings for all webpages. This is likely to help this website's search engine placement and assist visitors in navigating 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.
Page headings detail
URL format6.4
3 URLs are less than ideal
- 3 URLs are 'dirty'. 'Dirty' URLs include one or more parameters after a question mark (e.g. www.example.com/?pagename=news), instead of a clean URL (e.g. www.example.com/news). Dirty URLs should generally be avoided wherever possible - they are almost impossible for human beings to remember, may expose the technology of the website to hackers and can confuse search engines among other problems. Their use is sometimes necessary for specific applications, and acceptable in small amounts.
- Remove or reduce the number of query parameters in URLs. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.
Amount of content7.4
Rendering Chart...
- This website has an average of 550 words per page. The amount of content on a website has been shown to correlate with its search engine ranking.

Amount of content discovered
| Page | Characters | Words |
| www.booknow.co.za/ | 4596 | 703 |
| www.booknow.co.za/admin/login | 122 | 12 |

Analytics8.0
80% of pages use analytics
Google Tag Manager
- 80.0% of this website is using Google Tag Manager 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.
Internal links8.1
- 36 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.

Server behaviour9.4
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.
- One page of this website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on its URL. 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.
- Adding or removing a trailing slash to 3 of the URLs of this site returns an error page (404). This is OK as no content is being duplicated, but visitors might try browsing to the pages of this website with or without a trailing slash. Ideally, the alternate URL should redirect to the correct page.
- Add a 301 redirect from the other version to the canonical URL.
- This website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect from http://booknow.co.za to http://www.booknow.co.za. This is ideal.
