The design effect is how much weighting widened the margin; reports sometimes print it (for example 1.4). Leave it empty if the report does not say. The page address is the result, so you can bookmark or share it. The site keeps no copy in its database, but the numbers and labels are in that address, and the web server's ordinary access log records addresses: leave anything private out of the labels.
