How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from shockwave.com at $78 (level C), priced on a blend of link types (A 1% · B 12% · C 84% · D 3%): $39 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $98 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 $63 for a level C link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 65 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level C — usually neutralised (a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link). The spam score of its links is 11 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not shockwave.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 528.6K monthly visits, 22% from organic search (118.7K). Visits fell 13% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 1998.
mxverify looked up shockwave.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.
- shockwave.com gives more than one kind of link (A 1% · B 12% · C 84% · D 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $507 and a guest or sponsored one $254, before relevance.
- shockwave.com's visits fell 13% 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.
