Question 1

The correct answer is: a: Because it encourages engagement with the website.

Visitors can contribute and share their own content and experience, which encourages engagement with the website.

Option B is incorrect as user-generated content offers no such guarantee.

Option C is incorrect as user-generated content has to be monitored by the website owner to ensure that it is not harmful or against the terms of use.

Option D is incorrect as user-generated content is not always quicker to update than content uploaded by the website owner.

Question 2

The correct answer is: d: Web server

Server-side dynamic pages use scripts that communicate with the web server before the webpage is displayed to the end user in order to generate dynamic content.

Question 3

The correct answer is: d: Domain authority

Domain authority estimates how likely a website is to rank high on the search engine results page based on factors, such as backlinks, ranking keywords, the total number of links, and the authority of those linking domains, and does not directly affect the loading time of webpages.

Options A, B, and C are all examples of factors affecting the loading time of webpages.

Question 4

The correct answer is: b: False

The average total page weight is constantly going up with advanced and complex web technologies.

Question 5

The correct answer is: a: They have slower page loading times

Dynamic websites are slower than static websites due to their higher server requirements. This is because they have to request data from an external resource, such as a database. All of these requests will increase the loading time and require more system resources.

Option B is incorrect as dynamic websites make it easier for multiple people to contribute.

Option C is incorrect as dynamic websites are easier to update based on the time of day the visitor is viewing it, their location, what they visited before, their preferences, and more.

Option D is incorrect as dynamic websites are more interactive than static websites, since they can immediately respond to users and change according to their behaviour and habits.

Question 6

The correct answer is: b: Paper and ink

Web publishing does not require any physical materials, such as paper or ink.

Options A, C, and D are all examples of requirements for publishing a website.

Question 7

The correct answer is: d: Click path

The click path, also known as the clickstream, is the set of hyperlinks that a user follows on a site to reach a specific destination. The click path will often begin with an external link (e.g. a search results page or a social media post) and then end within the internal links in the website.

Option A is incorrect as that refers to a hyperlink pointing to a specific page on a website (e.g. https://example.com/directory/article-1.html') rather than the homepage of a website (e.g. 'https://example.com').

Option B is incorrect as that describes web content that is designed to grab visitor's attention and encourage people to link to it to improve the ranking of the website on the search results page.

Option C is incorrect as that refers to the total number of internal links a user must click through to access a page on a website.

Question 8

The correct answer is: c: jQuery

jQuery is an open-source 'write less, do more' JavaScript library used to simplify JavaScript programming and make it easier for users to perform tasks on their websites by taking a lot of the common tasks that require a large number of lines of code to perform and binding them into methods that can be run with a single line of code.

Question 9

The correct answer is: d: A hyperlink pointing to an article page

Question 10

The correct answer is: b: Webpage

A webpage, also spelt as web page, is a single HTML document that makes up a website on the World Wide Web and is viewed by a web browser.

Option A is incorrect as that describes a collection of several webpages held together to form a site.

Option C is incorrect as that describes the web address of a webpage or file on the internet.

Option D is incorrect as that describes the name, usually the name of a business with an extension at the end of it.

Question 11

The correct answer is: c: Search engines

One-time visitors are just looking for information on a specific topic and are usually directed to the website through search engines.

Options A, B, and D are incorrect as regular visitors are more likely to be directed to the website by these sources of website traffic.

Question 12

The correct answer is: a: Bounce rate

Bounce rate measures the percentage of users that leave after viewing a single page. This user interaction metric can provide important information about website traffic.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not website traffic metrics.

Question 13

The correct answer is: d: JSON

JSON is a lightweight data format used for storing and transmitting structured data.

Question 14

The correct answer is: a: Adding extra functionality to a website

As a website grows, extra functionality will need to be added to the site to fulfil the expectations and needs of new visitors. If the technology, such as the CMS and server setup no longer supports the functionality the website needs, a website relaunch may be required.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect as it is very unlikely that a full website relaunch would be required just for poor accessibility, not enough unique content, or too much organic traffic.

Question 15

The correct answer is: b: False

This is an example of content generated by the website owner, not user-generated content. If it was posted by visitors, it would be user-generated content.
