Here, in the "Engine Room", we show information that relates to the actual web site itself.
This includes details of any technical or structural changes that we implement on the web site. You will see information on 'bugs and fixes' as well as any other web site updates or amendments. We also outline what the webmaster is working on and provide details of new features that are in the pipeline. Various web site stats. also allow readers to follow the development of the Club's web site.
The billericaychessclub.org.uk web site was created in October 2013. In March 2020, a secondary project was started to take the club fully 'on-line' so that we could continue to operate through the Covid 19 lock down. Work was undertaken to integrate Discord and LiChess portals and this now allows the club to offer a fully interactive online experience. As part of this process, some improvements and enhancements have also been made to the club web site.
On the 1st June 2020, we changed web host provider and took the opportunity to review web site security. We worked on web site features to make them "https" ready, and a TLS security certificate has now been issued for the site. This means that, unlike many small organization web sites, we now list as 'Secure', with a padlock icon, and this can be particularly useful for Google Chrome browsers. As a result, it does mean that we are no longer able to embed some league chess content, as we had done previously. Instead, the 'Team' web pages now hyperlink to the NECL and Southend League web sites.
In October, 99 unique visitors, viewed the club website 261 times (this is down from 182 & 308, the previous month). This drop may reflect the fact there were fewer website updates in September/October.
However, it does mean that average 'Re-visits' per user increased from 1.69 to 2.64. The number of page views ('hits') and the total time spent on the website per visit is also increasing. This suggests
that overall website engagement trends are improving.
