Freshness0.7
Last updated February 22, 2019
- It looks like this website was last updated on Friday, 22 February 2019. This is bad because visitors may dismiss this website as outdated. Websites that are not updated regularly are also spidered by search engines less often.
- Consider updating this website regularly with new content.
- To find this information we used the last modified dates reported by this website's server in addition to looking for dates written on each page.
All dates found
| Date | File | Source |
| 22/02/2019 | is.gd/news.php | Body text |
| 10/11/2014 | is.gd/isgdlogo.jpg | Last modified header |
| 21/03/2018 | is.gd/isgd.css | Last modified header |
Headings1.0
- A large number (40.0%) 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.

URL format5.2
4 URLs are less than ideal
- 4 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.

- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.

Tested page Alternate is.gd/developers.php is.gd/developers.php/ is.gd/software.php is.gd/software.php/
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
