Relevance moves it: $241 to an unrelated site, $602 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from boardgamegeek.com is worth about $482 to rankings, up to $602 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from boardgamegeek.com worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from boardgamegeek.com is worth $963 as an editorial citation (level A), $482 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $96 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $48 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $602 for a level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does boardgamegeek.com's BV compare with other sites? At about $482 a link, boardgamegeek.com is in the “$250 to $499” value band, with 170 of the 4,495 sites valued on mxverify. 52 sites are in a higher band. In short: 52 of the 4,495 valued sites sit in a higher value band than boardgamegeek.com. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### Does boardgamegeek.com pass Core Web Vitals? No: real Chrome users see boardgamegeek.com's largest content load in 1.8 s (LCP), and at least one vital reported for it is not at Google's good level. The figures are from the Chrome UX Report (CC BY 4.0), the 75th percentile of real visits. Core Web Vitals describe how a page feels to its visitors; BV does not use them. In short: boardgamegeek.com does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites Its domain was registered in 2000. mxverify looked up boardgamegeek.com's address: it is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection. Cloudflare (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site.
