URL format8.4
1 URLs are less than ideal
- One URL is 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.
- 1 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.
Internal links8.9
- One link uses 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
Link URL Link text Page URL news.yahoo.com/more-50-million-under-severe-072926828.html Potential of softball-size hail, tornadoes as major storm moves across U.S.A wide-ranging multi-day system that is triggering alerts from Texas to the Northeast brings the greatest risk of severe thunderstorms so far this year.Flood watches from Illinois to Maryland » news.yahoo.com/
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
- 45 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.
Server behavior9.3
404 page
Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- One page of this website was not served using GZIP encoding. GZIP compression is widely supported and reduces the load time of a web page.
- Enable GZIP compression on your web server or in your application for all pages.
- 2 of the pages of this website return page content with or without a trailing slash on their URLs, but they use a canonical tag to denote the correct version. This is ideal, as search engines will know which version to index.
- Adding or removing a trailing slash to one 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://www.news.yahoo.com to http://news.yahoo.com. This is ideal.
Images10.0
14% of images have a clearly defined size
No images are being resized by the browser
- Most images (86.0%) 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 faster.
- 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.
- 1 image we found returned a 204 status code. This may indicate this image is used for tracking purposes.
- Check if a 204 is an appropriate status code for any images which return it.
Images used for tracking
- Check if a 204 is an appropriate status code for any images which return it.
