How to use this report

2 ways to use these figures
  • Price check. BV puts a new link from indietools.app at $17 (level B · nofollow · high-risk niche), for a linked site outside the piracy niche: $8.39 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $21 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed one would be worth $46 before relevance. A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $92 before relevance. A quote far above $57 for a followed level B link pays for what BV does not measure. A link from it to a site in the piracy niche is not capped: about $18, or $22 on the same topic. · Backlink value · what this means
  • Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 25 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link), with nofollow on 71% of its links (in the 10 articles we read). BV applies the high-risk niche cap: it is 12% likely a piracy site, and a link from such a site to an unrelated one is discounted. · How BV is worked out · what this means

Quick answers about indietools.app

7 questions answered

What is a link from indietools.app worth?

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 link from indietools.app is worth about $17 (level B · nofollow · high-risk niche, for a linked site outside its high-risk niche).

Is a link from indietools.app worth placing?

That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from indietools.app is worth $92 as an editorial citation (level A), $46 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $9.18 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $4.59 as a network link (level D), before relevance.

At about $17 a link, indietools.app is in the “$10 to $49” value band, with 1,058 of the 4,052 sites valued on mxverify. 841 sites are in a higher band.

Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update

Does indietools.app pass Core Web Vitals?

No: real Chrome users see indietools.app's largest content load in 3.5 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: indietools.app does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data.

Has indietools.app been audited?

No link placed on indietools.app 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: indietools.app's report is valued, not audited.

How BV is worked out

Site Strength 25 / 100 · level B · nofollow · high-risk niche · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from indietools.app would be worth up to $92 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 25 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 71% of its links are nofollow and it is 12% likely a piracy site, valued for a buyer outside piracy, so it is worth about $17 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $8.39 and $21.

Site Strength
25 / 100 (how Site Strength is worked out). No traffic figure on record yet, so BV 2.9 counts it as none until one is fetched: the median measured site has about one visit a month.

Read by Jev from our own reading of indietools.app's homepage and 10 articles; 71% of the links those articles make to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc, and BV caps that share of a new link at C. No link placed here has been audited yet. It is 12% likely a piracy site, going by our reading of the site. BV 2.9 values a link from it for a buyer outside piracy: search engines discount a link from such a site to an unrelated one, so it is at most level C with that probability, as in an audit. A buyer in piracy is not capped: about $18 a link.

Server and network

a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites

Its domain was registered in 2026.

mxverify looked up indietools.app'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.
