URL format7.0
1 URLs are less than ideal
- 1 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.
Page titles7.5
100% of pages have defined titles
50% of page titles are weak
- All pages were found to specify page titles, but one page has a relatively weak title which could be improved. Page titles appear in search results and at the top of the browser's window when visiting the site. Appropriate page titles are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
- Make sure that all pages have a descriptive title. Do not include the address of the page in the title, try not to use excessive punctuation and avoid common words like 'page'.
Page titles
| Page title | Notes |
| Uni-Plus - The Co-operative University of Kenya | This title appears to be overly complex. Consider a more meaningful title |
| Online Programme Application | OK |

- One page of this website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect between its URL with/without a trailing slash. This page is ideal.
