Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- 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.
- 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.
- This website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect from http://woodlandtrust.org.uk to http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk. This is ideal.
Internal links7.8
- 99 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.
