How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from free-for.dev at $134 (level B): $67 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $167 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $267 before relevance. A quote far above $167 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 50 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 28 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not free-for.dev's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 199.2K monthly visits, 20% from organic search (40.7K). Visits fell 27% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “freeforall.dev”, about 320 a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2019.
mxverify looked up free-for.dev's address: it is served through Fastly (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.
Fastly (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
- free-for.dev's visits fell 27% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Half of Site Strength is organic search traffic, so a fall that lasts lowers BV when the figure is next read.
