BV, mxverify's backlink value, is an estimate of what one new followed link from a site is worth to rankings: by BV 2.9, a new followed link from datatracker.ietf.org is worth about $587 (level A). Relevance moves it: $294 to an unrelated site, $734 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from datatracker.ietf.org is worth about $587 to rankings, up to $734 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from datatracker.ietf.org worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from datatracker.ietf.org is worth $628 as an editorial citation (level A), $314 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $63 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $31 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $785 for a level A 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 datatracker.ietf.org's BV compare with other sites? At about $587 a link, datatracker.ietf.org is in the “$500 or more” value band, with 55 of the 4,521 sites valued on mxverify. No site is in a higher band. In short: datatracker.ietf.org is in the highest value band of the 4,521 sites valued on mxverify.

Visits fell 44% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. In short: datatracker.ietf.org draws about 359.4K visits a month, down 44% since Aug 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Oct 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/datatracker.ietf.org#evidence) ### Does datatracker.ietf.org pass Core Web Vitals? Yes: real Chrome users see datatracker.ietf.org's largest content load in 1.2 s (LCP), and every vital reported for it is 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.

No link placed on datatracker.ietf.org has been audited yet, so this report shows no rates for how its links behave. Its backlink value comes from site-level figures (its authority rating, traffic and our reading of its articles), not from audited placements. In short: datatracker.ietf.org's report is valued, not audited.

[How it is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/guide#ad-revenue) Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites Its domain was registered in 1995. mxverify looked up datatracker.ietf.org'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.

Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read. What each figure means: [How to read a site report](https://mxverify.uk/guide).
