  • None of this website appears to be fully optimised for viewing on a mobile or tablet (using CSS media queries). It is important to make sure your content can be viewed easily across a wide range of devices as a growing percentage of web browsing is now done on phones and tablets.
  • This website was found to use elements of Adobe Flash. Flash is commonly used to add interactivity or video to a website, but it can only be viewed on devices which have the Flash plugin. The Flash plugin is not available to many mobile phones and tablets so they cannot view Flash content. Additionally, web spiders like Google also have problems spidering Flash based content, so heavy use of Flash may not be good for SEO.
    • Consider the use of Flash carefully. Where possible, change elements made in Flash for HTML equivalents. If this is not possible, try and provide a Flash alternative.

  • All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarise the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
  • Some headings (1.0%) 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.
