The Evaluation of The Technical Quality of Web Sites With Contents in Arabic and Serbian Languages




Abstract:
In this paper, authors present the result of an experimental study which covers the technical evaluation of 200 websites. Of the total, 100 are with content in the Arabic language and 100 are with content in the Serbian language. The technical evaluation covers the most common web development practices which are usually neglected. These include the application of the responsive page design, page download speed, the analysis of the most frequent HTML code errors and warnings, the use of CSS and JavaScript compression and the use of HTTPS certificates for secure connections. The test data is obtained with a script which collects information from a list of domains. The script processes the acquired information and performs code validation using the W3C HTML Validator tool. This paper presents a comparison of the evaluation results of web sites in Arabic and web sites in Serbian. The paper points out the most common technical problems and inadequacies of web sites in Arabic and Serbian languages. This research aims to help developers to maintain and improve their web page development processes and to avoid making common errors, which lead to increased incompatibility of web page with different browsers.
