Measuring your website
Does anyone remember Silktide Sitescore? It was a website testing software that would measure your website based on many variables – such as valid code, PR, text to image ration, meta tags, load speed and several other factors. Silktide closed down several years ago, but now they have re-launched the service as Nibbler. The new version has many more factors that it will measure. Although uts easy to get carryed away trying to improve your score, I think its a great tool for checking your website – especially when you are concerned about search rankings – all you ned to do is type in the url of your website and Nibbler will score it out of ten, based on many factors – it gives you a great insight into how well written your website is.
Nibbler looks very useful to carry out a quick scan of a website and pick up on some issues quickly.
Doesn’t beat actually going through a site page by page but it does give you a decent quick overview and can help spot some problems.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the input Tom – yes I agree it doesn’t beat going through the site manually – but it does help iron out the creases! Its a bit of fun as well – trying to get a high score!
