SiteSpeedLab Overall Website Rating for this website
Based on our speed test results table and considering features of the current webserver location (United states, Dover), we concluded
overall This website speed rank is 12. That means 12% of the sites from the Dover are slower for visitors than this website.

It is important to understand that you can't evaluate website speed without considering website audience location. You should evaluate the speed of the site considering location of your primary audience (visitors), and not just from abstract tests from various points of the planet. There is a chance that your website is quite slow for visitors from German but pretty quick for Australian users at the same time. Based on a primary audience location data Site Speed Laboratory maintains objective rating. Test servers located in the Usa and United Kingdom are more useful and important to Ups.com because the shares of each country are 71.50 and 11.20 percent respectively.

You should not overestimate the importance of the website speed factor. Google has more than 200 ranking factors and website speed is just one of them.

DNS Lookup Speed

Browser should lookup domain name and get IP address of the server (153.2.224.50) before downloading the page. We test DNS resolve for this domain from 5 locations. That's how we've got the average time of receiving IP: 0.1s (which is better than 74% of all sites). For more detailed stats look at DNS tests graph and DNS resolve page for United states, Dover location (Average value on the widget is an average DNS resolve time for websites hosted at the same location).

Page Speed Test

Content-Type's Weights
 
 
Content-Type's Weights by Hosts
 
 
Downloading page itself is the final stage of the testing. Actually, this is the last stage, after which page is displayed completely for user. The download speed depends on many factors. Main factors are the following: the width of the bandwidth up to the domain, the number of simultaneous download threads, speed of the server, a distance between user and domain web server. Recent measurements have shown the speed of page download for this domain is 41.171Kb/s (which is better than 12% of all sites in this region). For more detailed stats check out report for Dover hosted websites.

 
 
 

Page Speed

Page Speed is a key factor in the website speed estimations (along with DNS lookup speed and website latency). Speed of the page loading, sophisticated subdomains usage for static content (images, css), optimized code (html, js), hosting on fast servers with good latency to its audience leads to good results and, ultimately, to a good website profitability.

While conducting tests we emulate a visit your website using the browser Firefox 3.5.6. Test results of the page loading listed in this table:

Ways to improve website performance

Once the document (website's main page) has been downloaded, we analyze it. It allows us to give webmasters some recommendations on how to optimize page load speed. We analyze the internal and external factors.

Avoid 301 & 302 Redirects

Redirect allows you to make website or page available under many URLs. Webmasters use redirects when their sites change domain name, several websites are merged into one, document is moved too a new location, etc. Using a redirect delays content obtaining. Any delay negatively affects on the user experience. We've detected that page has 1 redirects before page components start loading. The following list contains some of these redirects:
http://ssdc.ups.com/dcslnrz6vne3g9s37bjvj8khc_2v8x/dcs.gif?x=1&dcsdat=... redirects to http://ssdc.ups.com/dcslnrz6vne3g9s37bjvj8khc_2v8x/dcs.gif?dcsredirect...
Try to reduce the number unnecessary redirects.

Alternate text for the images.

As you may already know, search engine that indexes your pages, do not have eyes. And all content you are trying to display on your site is just HTML & CSS code, images, Flash, etc for the robots. It is It's extremely important to describe each of the objects more datailed using ALT, TITLE and other tags.

Our robot has determined that the ups.com page has 9 images, which has no tag ALT. Tag ALT is a text field, that specifies an alternate text for an image. But not only. Search engines consider this tag as a supplemental result for assessing the content of your page entirely. Do not ignore it!

For example your page has this code:
355.   <img src="/img/1.gif" border="0" height="8" width="10">
We recommend you use rich img code in that place:
355.   <img src="/img/1.gif" border="0" height="8" width="10" alt="supply chain management">


P.S. We used keyword for this image that seemed to us most important for your page. But you can go ahead and give to each of 9 images an ALT text. This problem requires responsible approach. No need to put the same text at alt tag of the all images. Imagine that the pictures do not show and try to make sure that users understand what is shown on the picture based on the alt tag

Specify image dimensions

The browser needs to know the actual dimensions of image (width and height) to quickly render webpage.

We have detected that the 1 images has no width and height.

If you do not specify the width and/or height, then in order to correctly display the image browser needs to download it and only then put on the screen. Otherwise, there is a chance browser will display elements under the picture inappropriately as well as the possible presence of "jumping" effect of the page content (until the page load is finished).

We provide below example of how to define the image /img/ups_tag_line.gif dimensions:
79.   <img src="/img/ups_tag_line.gif" alt="We Love Logistics" width="IMAGE_WIDTH_HERE" height="IMAGE_HEIGHT_HERE">

Using H1 tag

Show main content of the page clearly. One of the most important internal website ranking factors is the H1 tag. It's a title of the document and the most powerful keyword, actually. Our robot did not find the h1 tag on the page.

Content Semantics

We suggest you along with important and well-known tags like Title & H1 use also H2, H3, H4, H5, STRONG tags. Each page can (and should) highlight not only the main topic, but also complement the semantic core of the page and the whole site with the secondary keywords. For example, if the main topic of the page is dedicated servers, there is a probability that page has a blog about managed dedicated servers. If so try to highlight the title of the block by using tag <H2>, and an information that you provide this service in the United Kingdom highlight with H3 tag and so on. Thus try to highlight every important fragment of the information on your page with tags like STRONG, H2, H3, etc. We did not find H2 tags, H3 tags, H4 tags, H5 tags, STRONG tags on the page

Use the TITLE for A tag

As we have already mentioned, search engine bots can not see the site like a people do it. They more focused on the descriptions of certain page elements. That's why we strongly recommend use TITLE operator in the "A" tag. This operator not only describes the page referenced by the page more detailed, but also takes part in the page describing. For example, you have the link on your website:
417.   <a href="javascript:popWrapper('http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/use.html?WT.svl=Footer','pop_up_3_col')" style="white-space: nowrap;">Web Site Terms of Use</a>
We suggest you to remake it in this way:
417.   <a href="javascript:popWrapper('http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/use.html?WT.svl=Footer','pop_up_3_col')" style="white-space: nowrap;" title="supply chain">Web Site Terms of Use</a>
Of course, you can (and should) use more proper phrase instead of the "supply chain" that describes the link javascript:popWrapper('http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/use.html?WT.svl=Footer','pop_up_3_col').
