* (very poor) Popularity on Google – Based on your webpage title, we guessed that your website / company name is “HART”. In the text on your homepage, these appear to be the most significant phrases:

i&8217
sites
blog
plugin
network
post
hartempire
it&8217
hartempire network
don&8217

We took the top 3 phrases and searched for them in Google, along with your website/company name.

No matches on Google were found at all.

The includes searches for HART, blog, sites, i&8217.

Recommendations: If your website is more than a month old, you should always aim to score within the top 10 results for a search for your website or company name, at least. Firstly, make sure your website is properly programmed, and makes proper use of title, heading and meta-tags – in particular your homepage. Ensure that your website contains text-based content that is relevant to those searching for your website. Then submit your website to all the search engines and applicable free directories you can.

* (very poor) Use of meta tags – None of the tested webpages made use of meta tags. This website is likely to be either very old or not well designed. Meta tags help promote your web pages to search engines.

Recommendations: Add effective meta tags to your website.

* (very poor) British legal requirements * All pages were found in violation of the current W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

This website may be unlawful in Britain. The British Disability Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide any service provided to members of the public – including websites.

Validation services courtesy of W3C Validator.

Recommendations: Pages should be redesigned to meet the W3C standards.

* (average) No of images – We found an average of 51.0 images per page, this is high and will make the website slower to display.

However, there appears to be good variety in the images within this website (15.0 unique images per page).

Recommendations: Consider reducing the number of images per page. Often lots of small images can be combined into a lesser number of larger images, increasing the speed at which pages display.

* (average) Size of pages – Webpages are reasonably sized and should display at a respectable speed.

* (good) Links to – About 64 other websites were found linking to this website. (64 quality links, out of 64). The website is reasonably well linked to, although there is room for improvement.

Recommendations: A large number of web directories, news and affiliate websites can be encouraged to link to you for free. Over time any reasonably successful website should pick up additional links as a matter of course.

* (good) Popularity ranking – Your website is ranked 1,170,655 in the world. This is reasonable but shows your website is not especially popular.

Recommendations: You can usually increase repeat visitors, by offering useful services or valuable content on your website (e.g. login area, downloads, forums). Ensure that your website is well linked to by others, and that you have submitted it effectively to all the relevant search engines. You should also ensure that your website is effectively designed to be promoted online – e.g. it makes proper use of titles, meta tags etc.

* (good) Speed Your website responded in 0.53 seconds, and your homepage downloaded in 1.61 seconds. This is very fast and suggests your website is running on a sufficiently powerful web server.

* (excellent) Website icon – This website includes a favourite icon. This is a nice touch.

* (excellent) Features – The following 7 features were specifically identified: Login facility, Search facility, Discussion forums, RSS feed, Moderate profanity, News, Contact details. Generally, our analysis detected a very positive selection of text and features.

* (excellent) Use of Interactive Elements – Your website does not appear to include any advert keywords in your source files and therefore displays correctly to the user with a spam blocker enabled.

* (excellent) Use of page titles – The title of your homepage was found to be “HART-Empire.com (HART-EMPIRE NETWORK)”. Your page titles appear to be fine.
