Individual tests

This website does not appear to be on Facebook, as no link to a

Facebook Facebook page was found in this website.

If this website does have a Facebook page, it should be linked to by this

website. It is possible this website links to a page which is only visible to
logged in Facebook users. If this is the case, it cannot be detected
automatically, and consider making the page publicly visible.

Not every organisation benefits from a Facebook page, but nearly all
should consider one. A Facebook page is free, and provides a popular
channel for communicating with your fans and customers.

For www.w3schools.com

None of this website appears to be optimised for printing.

Printability
Wherever possible, a website should define specific stylesheets for
printing. Printable stylesheets allow for extensive control over the printed
version of a webpage, for instance removing navigation and adjusting
the layout to fit.

Add print-specific stylesheets for all pages, wherever possible. In most cases, one shared print stylesheet can cover the
whole website.

Optimised for printing Best practice

0% All content pages in the site should have

print-specific styles defined using CSS. Use this
stylesheet to hide navigation and other irrelevant
areas of the page (such as Flash, which doesn't
print).

This site does not use any Open Graph tags, although some basic
Open Graph information can be inferred from other tags.

Open Graph tags tell Facebook and other social networks how to share
content on this site. Because they are not used here, it is likely pages
from this site will not look that great when they are shared.

This makes it less likely content from this website will be shared or
clicked on.

Adding Open Graph tags is relatively straightforward for most sites. At a

minimum, you should have a title, description, image, type and site
name for every page.

Note that some of these pages may not appear to be broken to the
average web browser, but they are incorrectly reporting themselves as

Broken links frustrate users and can sometimes indicate a technical

Average page sizes

The response time is usually a measure of the application powering the website (e.g. a Content Management System or
webserver) and the power of any servers running that application.

Good application performance means webpages feel responsive to users, and the server is more likely to handle higher volumes
of traffic. Poor performance will dissuade users and search engines from the site.

Page speeds are calculated for a simulated web browser and connection speed (4Mb broadband). Javascript files are loaded but
