Abstract
A method of analysing a Web page comprising the steps of analysing said Web page and identifying content issues; obtaining traffic data for said Web page; correlating said content issues with said traffic data; and producing a report on said correlated data.
Claims19
A method of analyzing a Web site comprising the steps of:
- accumulate traffic data for said Web site, performed by a web server supporting the Web site;
- aggregate said traffic data, performed by a traffic data server;
- identifying, via a content analysis server, Web site content issues relating to the operations of said Web site, wherein said content issues are selected from the group consisting of:
- broken links, broken anchors, slow pages, missing Alt text, spelling errors, forms, compliance with accessibility guidelines, cookie handling, third-party links and P3P compact policies, the content analysis server interconnected with the web server and the traffic data server via a communication network;
- analyzing each Web page of said Web site and identifying occurrences of said content issues, wherein the analyzing is done in response to parameters set by a Web administrator including querying the Web administrator to input parameters for said analysis;
- obtaining traffic data for each said Web page;
- performing URL normalization of the traffic data obtained from each of said Web page wherein URL normalization includes case sensitive transformations, session identifier detection and load balancing reconciliation;
- correlating said content issues for a given one of said Web pages with said URL normalized traffic data;
- prioritizing content issues on the Web site based on the traffic data and content issues;
- and
- producing a report on said correlated data so that higher priority content issues on said Web site may be identified.

- analyze said Web site and identify occurrences of said content issues for each Web page of said Web site, said occurrences of said content issues being indexed by Web page, wherein the analyzing is done in response to parameters set by a Web administrator including querying the Web administrator to input parameters for said analysis;
- obtain traffic data for said Web pages from said Traffic Data Server;
- performing URL normalization of the traffic data obtained from each of said Web page wherein URL normalization includes case sensitive transformations, session identifier detection and load balancing reconciliation;
- correlate said identified occurrences of said content issues with said URL normalized Traffic Data;
- and
- prioritize content issues on the Web site based on the traffic data and content issues;
- and
- produce a report on said correlated data so that higher priority content issues on said Web site may be identified.
