Top priorities for website improvement
- Make sure that all pages have a title in the head of the document. (read more)
- Define meaningful headings for all webpages. This is likely to help this website's search engine placement and assist visitors in navigating content. (read more)
- Ensure all pages have a sufficient amount of content. (read more)
Server behaviour3.4
404 page
Compression
- This website does not return a 404 error HTTP status code for missing pages. This is bad because search engines like Google might mistake this for a real page of content.
- Ensure your web server returns a 404 HTTP status code for error pages.
- This website was not served using GZIP encoding. GZIP compression is widely supported and reduces the load time of a web page.
- Enable GZIP compression on your web server or in your application.
- This website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on the URLs. Search engines might see these as separate pages with duplicate content which they could penalise for.
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
- This website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect from http://ruckersforum.com to http://www.ruckersforum.com. This is ideal.
Headings4.0
- 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.

URL format7.6
2 URLs are less than ideal
- 2 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.

Internal links9.9
- 4 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.
Images10.0
1% of images have a clearly defined size
3 images are being resized by the browser
- Most images (99.0%) don't have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. These attributes are optional, but strongly recommended as they help the browser arrange the page more quickly.
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
Non Explicitly Sized Images
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
- 3 images are being stretched in the browser.
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
