SEO week 4-Auditing a Website

-
This week I did a practice SEO audit on the website LinkedIn. I visit this website frequently to post blogs for several classes as well as for seeking job opportunities so I was interested to see its performance report. An SEO audit is the process of analyzing how well your web presence relates to the best practices. I used the website gtmetrix.com to do this.




After running the website URL, the scores for LinkedIn were analyzed. The results showed that this website has better than average performance scores. The page speed score was calculated to be 92 % and the average is 72%. The Yslow score was found to be 98% and the average is 71%. This website loaded 4.5 times faster than the average at only 2.6 seconds. Overall, the performance results for LinkedIn were very good and it was interesting to see how this website might compare to others.

Google Analytics has a neat function known as date range. Date range allows for the user to view certain metrics during a specific period of time. These metrics can help businesses understand how effective their current marketing strategy is as it shows how many people visited their page and how long they stayed on the page. You can change the date range to today, yesterday, last month, last month, last seven days or last thirty days. Another benefit of this function is that date ranges can be compared and the user can view the data side-by-side. This is a very simple way to compare data and see how the metrics changed from one period to another. Analyzing the number of page views can help a business grow as the ultimate goal is to reach the largest number of potential customers.

This week for class, I dived a little bit deeper into a Google Analytics account to analyze a variety of information. I was specifically focused on comparing the amount fo desktop users to mobile users. To do so, I first set the date range to include the last 30 days. After that, I navigated to the left side of the page where I clicked on the button Audience. A drop down button appeared and I selected Mobile Overview. As you can see in the chart above, information is separated based on desktop and mobile users. This information shows that there have been 130 desktop users and 23 mobile users in the last 30 days. Other metrics like new users, bounce rate, and session duration are also measured. All of these metrics can help companies better understand how users are viewing their content and which method may be more effective for them.
