How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from indiedb.com at $254 (level B): $127 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $317 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $507 before relevance. A quote far above $317 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 65 / 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 6 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not indiedb.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 477.5K monthly visits, 58% from organic search (276.4K). Visits fell 0.6% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “size it up”, about 24.7K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.
- AI assistant visits. 2.2% of its visits in Sept 2026 came from AI assistants' answers, about 10.6K (visits, not citations); ChatGPT sent the most in Sept 2026, 65% of them. The split moved a lot between months (ChatGPT from 15% in Jul 2026 to 74% in Aug 2026): read it as a snapshot, not a trend.

Does indiedb.com pass Core Web Vitals?

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2004.
mxverify looked up indiedb.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. 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.
