Printability
None of this website appear to be optimised for printing
(using CSS). Wherever possible, a website should define alternative 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. They are faster and remove the need for maintaining separate versions of a webpage (e.g. "Click here to print this page").
Very poor
Technical recommendations
Add printable stylesheets for all pages, wherever possible. In most cases, websites can share printable stylesheets over many or all pages, as with screen-based stylesheets.

Use of keywords Very poor
The content for this site does not match the desired keywords at all. The website will probably underperform on search engines for the desired keywords. 203 keywords ("delaware daycare", "delaware children", "nanny agency chester county" ...) are never mentioned once in the text content for this site. Keywords that are not mentioned clearly have no chance of scoring highly. The website does not contain enough text which matches the keywords the website is being promoted for. To rank highly in search engines it is essential to include substantial text content on the topic of the desired keywords, and emphasise those keywords properly. The website also does not appear to emphasise keywords very well. Important keywords can be more effectively promoted by putting them in page titles, headings and links. This increases their prominence to search engines and is a critical first step in Search Engine Optimisation.
Technical recommendations
Consider adding or revising text on the topic of desired keywords, or
changing the keywords that this site is promoted for. Ensure that keywords and the content text broadly match. Add more emphasis to the desired keywords, by placing them in titles (<title>), headings (<H1>, <H2> etc) and links. Desired keywords Keywords that this website wants to score for, and how well it does so. 241 found (only showing top 10) -

The text in this website is not flexible in size. Users with visual impairments cannot enlarge or reduce the text.
Visited links are not distinguished from normal links. For optimal accessibility it is recommended to distinguish links the user has already visited - for example, by changing their colour. Active links are not distinguished from normal links. Active links are links which the user has selected, for example by clicking on them or selecting them with the keyboard. For people who are unable to use a mouse, active links are particularly useful. For optimal accessibility it is recommended to distinguish active links - for example, by changing their colour.
Poor
Hovered-over links are not distinguished from normal links. It is not required to change the appearance of a link when the mouse is hovered over it, however it can aid usability by clarifying what areas of the screen are clickable. All of the fonts used by this website are 'web-friendly', which is ideal. Web-friendly fonts are installed on the vast majority of computers, and therefore tend to display consistently to nearly all users. Technical recommendations
Wherever possible, define font-sizes as flexible (i.e. use relative sizes). Specify a distinct visual style for visited links. Specify a distinct visual style for active links. Specify a distinct visual style for hovered-over links.

About 191 other websites were found linking to this website (6 quality links, out of 191).
Technical recommendations
We suggest a minimum of 30 quality links for any given website, to ensure it is listed effectively by Google and other major search engines. A large number of web directories, news and affiliate websites can be encouraged to link to you for free.

Spelling Poor
Technical recommendations
Most pages (62.9%) appear to contain at least one spelling error. This could be because the spelling dictionary is not familiar with specialist terminology used on this website, or because the website is mixing multiple languages into one page. Check the list of potentially misspelt words, and correct the website or amend the Sitescore dictionary as necessary.

URL format
The majority (97.1%) of web addresses (URLs) are less than ideal. 97.1% of URLs include a file extension. These extensions (html found 33 times, htm found once) 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.
Poor
Technical recommendations
Avoid use of file extensions wherever possible. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.

File usage Adequate
The files in this website are of a fair size (for a 512k Broadband connection). It could be faster if these were reduced. The homepage for this site is particularly large and slow to load (approx 26.4 seconds). A slow homepage is particularly bad, as users are more likely to leave a slow-loading site on the first page than any other.
On average pages take 7.2 seconds to download on a 512k Broadband connection. 152 files were found in this website. 2 MIME types appears to be incorrectly setup on the webserver (text/html was returned for image/jpeg, text/html was returned for image/gif). Incorrect MIME types may confuse some web browsers or agents, resulting in missing, incorrectly displayed or non-indexed content. Technical recommendations
Consider whether any large elements of the website (especially multimedia) are worth the speed trade-off. Most users prefer a quick and responsive website to a slow but more attractive one. Make sure the files on the website are properly optimised to be as small as possible. Map the necessary file extensions to the correct MIME type on the webserver.

Metadata Excellent
Nearly every page was found to include the recommended minimum metadata. Metadata provide invisible information about the content of a page, and has a wide range of applications, particularly for search engines and website compliance. Public sector websites in particular usually have to adhere to one or more metadata standards. description (8.6% pages missing) - A description of the page
or website, this is important as search engines tend to display this text in their results pages (SERPs). This website doesn't make use of Dublin Core or e-GMS metadata. This is not a problem, unless this website specifically has to adhere to these standards. Technical recommendations
Define appropriate metadata for all webpages. At an absolute minimum, all pages should include a description or dc.description meta tag.

Links Excellent
Some (1.1%) of the links in this site could be defined better. 3 links are weakly described. Common weak link include 'click here' and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link points to. Properly linking using one or more descriptive words (e.g. 'News', 'September 2008 financial results') benefits search engine optimisation for those words and aids accessibility. Note that is is possible to change the text a link point to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, Read more could be a valid link, if you add a title description to it.
Technical recommendations List of links
Ensure that all links either use appropriate link text, or specify appropriate text in the title attibute for the link where this is not appropriate.

The website may be harder to use for some disabled users, and therefore in violation of legislation in many countries (e.g. UK, US, Australia).

Images Excellent
On average there are 3.2 unique images per page. 2.9% of pages do not contain a single unique image. Unique images are not essential for every page. However to maximize aesthetic appeal, top-level pages should ideally feature at least one unique image. Some images (7.3%) don't have defined sizes. Defining an image size allows the webpage to display layout correctly before loading all of the images. Not specifying image often causes the layout of pages to change as the page loads. This is not a critical issue, however we recommend image sizes are defined wherever possible.

Spiderability
This website appears fully spiderable via conventional methods.
This is a crucial first step for any website, as it ensures search engines, users with disabilities and users without Javascript enabled can access all of the pages. This will help search engine rankings and accessibility. It is possible that some part of this website is non-spiderable, but that the means used to access that content is beyond my ability to detect it. (For example, a login area that I don't have details for). You can optionally choose to add these sections yourselves. Read the Help for more information.

URL chopping
This website handles 'chopped' URLs correctly. A chopped URL is where part of an address is cut off at a forward slash, for example reducing www.example.com/news/acticle1/ to www.example.com/news/. Handling these chopped addresses will aid both users and search engines visiting this website. Users may experiment with chopping parts of the URL out manually, particularly if they are using a popular plugin like Google Toolbar, which allows them to do this with a single mouse click. Some search engines also experiment with chopping up URLs to explore more pages.

Contact details Information
2 different email addresses were found in this website. 46 different phone numbers were found in this website. No addresses were found in this website. Because these contact details were detected automatically by software, it is possible some other details have been omitted. Any email addresses that can be detected by this test are much more susceptible to spam. Spammers routinely crawl pages in a similar way to harvest new addresses to send spam to. This doesn't mean you shouldn't put email addresses on your website - but do so carefully.
Technical recommendations
Check all contact details are correct. Consider carefully what email addresses should be listed on your website, as they will be much more susceptible to spam. If an email address has been on your website for some time, there is probably little benefit from removing it.
