- Links out (out-degree): it links to 10 sites in the graph
- PageRank rank: 30,194 of 309,017
- PageRank rank without footer-only links: 17,927 of 309,017
- PageRank rank between registered names: 50,410 of 309,017
- Betweenness rank: 16,174 of 309,017
- Sites reachable by following links: about 63,212 (estimated)
- Community: one of 5,546 sites in its Louvain community

Definitions: in-degree and out-degree count links from and to other sites in the graph. PageRank weighs links by the rank of the sites they come from; every link counts the same, whatever its purpose. Without footer-only links, it leaves out links only ever seen in a page footer. Between registered names, it leaves out links between sites under one registered name, such as x.co.za and shop.x.co.za. Betweenness measures how often a site lies on the shortest paths between others. An island has no links to or from other sites in the graph; an unrecognised site links out but has no links in. A Louvain community is a group of sites more densely linked to each other than to the rest.
