The results revealed that the level of effectiveness’ calculation in Task 1 obtained a percentage of 88.57%, 41.63% in Task 2 and 48.57% in Task 3. Moreover, the efficiency level calculation shows that, TBE in Task 1 = 0.038 goals/sec, TBE in Task 2 = 0.024 goals/sec, TBE in Task 3 = 0.031 goals/sec. Then, ORE in Task 1 = 85.99%, ORE in Task 2 = 29.83%, ORE in Task 3 = 34.44 %. Hence, it was illustrated that the website should be improved on the area of interests.
