Today, the internet comprises of more than a billion websites. The competition, especially for free organic traffic to websites, is at an all-time high. Companies, bloggers and website admins who seek to increase the audience of their websites, must meet a growing list of requirements and demands, e.g., from search engines like Google. So if you want to make sure you are on the right track, you might want to consider the following checklist:

  • How long does it take for my website to load?
  • Is the content of my website displayed correctly on mobile devices?
  • Is the level of security for my visitors sufficient, e.g., in terms of encryption via SSL?
  • Is my website visible on major search engines like Google?

If you'd like to know more about how submitting URLs to the major search engines works, please check out the following article: Registering a website and submitting URLs to Google.

No. The website checker only provides information on whether your page is visible on search engines like Google. In addition, you'll receive an overview of how your site is displayed in the search results. A more detailed look at how you can improve search engine optimization for your site is available with the IONOS SEO Check.

No. Unfortunately, the website checker does not provide you with free data on a given website's traffic statistics.Unlike other tools, there is also no paid PRO version available that would allow you to run a website traffic test. We know the idea is enticing and we might come up with a solution for you in the near future. However, for now, the best thing we can do is refer you to other tools that will get the job done for you.

So here is a selection of free online website traffic checkers:

similarweb.com gives you a free estimate of a website's traffic with number of total visits, average visit duration, pages per visit and bounce rate on an aggregated level for both, desktop and mobile web traffic.

semrush.com also has a free version of web page traffic stats available. It gives you an overview of organic search traffic, paid search traffic as well as the share of branded vs non-branded searches.

No. Unfortunately, this feature is currently not available. Nevertheless, if you want to make sure you do not become the victim of an online scam, you might want to follow a few simple rules:

  • Inspect the URL closely. Does it show any signs of manipulation or an altered form of the original website?
  • Take a close look at the SSL certificate. Make sure it is a https secured website that can ideally be traced back to an organization or company.
  • Does the website indicate it adheres to the guidelines of trust seal providers? Make sure you do not just see images of security seals like Norton, but that these third parties have actually listed the website you want to conduct business with.
