The Details
The Webmaster Online Tools
The WebPageTest, part of the AOL Developer Network checked and gave two A's, one B and three F's for the performance of Detik.com. We decided to let WebPagetest checked Detik.com from its site in Singapore as that is the closest place to Jakarta, Indonesia. It took a while for the WebPageTest to test the Detik.com website performance. Like the Yahoo! YSlow, the WebPageTest also takes the CDN as one factor affecting website performance. We converted the two A's, one B and three F's into Huuya.com's conversion score of 45.
The free Search Engine Optimization (SEO) analysis tool: The Reaction Engine checked Detik.com website and gave a result summary of Grade D with Total Errors: 5, Total warnings: 8, and Total Passes: 10. Huuya.com used the keyword "detik" for The Reaction Engine to check the website.
The Reaction Engine detected Detik.com's unavailability of keywords and document type. It also detected 51 hmtl validation errors Detik.com needed to fix! Most errors were also came from Detik.com's 301 Moved Permanently errors. Huuya.com finally had to convert the D score Detik.com got into a score of 50.

The Looks and Ease of Browsing
The first time our students began to browse the Detik.com website, they began to comment on Detik.com's color combination. The site was dominated by the color of blue, but the blues were no match to the purple, red, light yellow, pale green, dark green, pink, and orange colors. The site's look was also crowded with advertisements. Detik.com with its very simple, boring red logo over white background, combined with unmatched colors, made the site looks cheap. A score of 60 for Detik.com's looks.
It was actually easy to navigate around the website of Detik.com. However, the flash and the colors used by the website made most of our students and Huuya.com's staff got dizzy. The score of Detik.com's ease of browsing can be higher, if the website uses matching colors and has less flash. A score of 75 for Detik.com's ease of browsing.
