How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from techradar.com at $539 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (A 34% · B 38% · C 28%): $269 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $674 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $963 before relevance. A quote far above $602 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 80 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). In the 10 articles we read, 27% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 12.9M monthly visits, 55% from organic search (7.1M). Visits fell 17% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “website builder comparison”, about 84.1K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

How much traffic does techradar.com get?
techradar.com gets about 12.9M visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 55% of them (7.1M) come from organic search. Visits fell 17% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026.

Does techradar.com pass Core Web Vitals?

Server and network
techradar.com 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.
- A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
- The BV score is what one new followed link from techradar.com is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. It is not a price, and it does not predict what a link will do for a particular site: relevance to that site moves it between half and one and a quarter times.
- Traffic figures come from a third-party traffic source, named with its date in the evidence box above; no one outside a site sees its analytics.
- techradar.com gives more than one kind of link (A 34% · B 38% · C 28%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $963 and a guest or sponsored one $482, before relevance.
- techradar.com's visits fell 17% 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.
