Mobile5.8
- This website redirects smartphone users to a mobile site at https://m.lingscars.com/.
- Having a mobile site is good, but the best way of adapting a website for different screen sizes is to use CSS media queries.
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 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.
Server behavior9.7
404 page
Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.
- Adding or removing a trailing slash to all 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.
Unhandled alternate URLs
- 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://lingscars.com to http://www.lingscars.com. This is ideal.
Internal links9.8
- One link is weakly described. Common weak links include 'click here' and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link points to.
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
Weak link text
Link URL Link text Page URL quote.lingscars.com/ CLICK HERE www.lingscars.com/business-van-leasing...&yrs=2
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
- 12 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.
Headings9.9
- All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarize the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimization.
- Some headings (2.0%) were found to be empty, or incorrectly defined. Empty or invalid headings are of no value to search engines and make a website less accessible.
- Make sure all headings have content which is relevant to the page of content.
