Quick answers about tess.im 7 questions answered ### What is a link from tess.im 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 tess.im is worth about $17 (level B · nofollow). Relevance moves it: $8.72 to an unrelated site, $22 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from tess.im is worth about $17 to rankings, up to $22 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from tess.im worth placing? That depends on the kind of link: by BV 2.9, a link from tess.im is worth $174 as an editorial citation (level A), $87 as a guest, sponsored or listed link (level B), $17 as a press-release, syndicated, profile or forum link (level C), $8.72 as a network link (level D), before relevance. A price far above $109 for a followed level B link pays for something BV does not measure, such as the site's own readers. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### How does tess.im's BV compare with other sites? At about $17 a link, tess.im is in the “$10 to $49” value band, with 979 of the 3,822 sites valued on mxverify. 713 sites are in a higher band. In short: 713 of the 3,822 valued sites sit in a higher value band than tess.im. Source: mxverify's own directory, counted at the last daily update ### How much traffic does tess.im get? tess.im gets about 140.9K visits a month (Sept 2026), by a modelled estimate of all its visitors, not analytics measured on the site. 12% of them (17.6K) come from organic search. Visits rose 4.3% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. In short: tess.im draws about 140.9K visits a month, up 4.3% since Jul 2026. Source: [third-party traffic estimate, Sept 2026](https://mxverify.uk/publications/tess.im#evidence) ### Does tess.im pass Core Web Vitals? No: real Chrome users see tess.im's largest content load in 5.5 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: tess.im does not pass Core Web Vitals on real-user data. Source: [Chrome UX Report, 28 days to 27 Oct 2026](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux); [web.dev: Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals) ### Does tess.im link out with nofollow? In the 10 articles we read, tess.im made 38 links to other sites, and 100% of them were nofollow, sponsored or ugc; the other 0% were followed. BV prices a nofollow link at level C (×0.1), whatever the site is otherwise worth. In short: about 100% of tess.im's outbound links are nofollow, so a new link placed there may be too.

No link placed on tess.im 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: tess.im's report is valued, not audited. How BV is worked out Site Strength 40 / 100 · level B · nofollow · each factor and link type A followed editorial link from tess.im would be worth up to $174 under BV 2.9, before relevance: its Site Strength is 40 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level B (a guest, sponsored or listed link), but 100% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $17 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $8.72 and $22. - **Site Strength**: **40** / 100 ([how Site Strength is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#reading-a-report)).

[What each level means](https://mxverify.uk/methodology#link-levels). | Level | Factor | Value | | --- | --- | --- | | A — Counted | ×1 | $174 | | B — May be discounted · nofollow here | ×0.5 | $87 | | C — Usually neutralised | ×0.1 | $17 | | D — Network | ×0.05 | $8.72 | 100% of tess.im's links are nofollow, so a new link from it — a guest, sponsored or listed link — is priced at ×0.1: $17, where a followed one would be worth $87. BV prices the ranking value a link passes, and a nofollow link passes little. How tess.im links out: the full reading 10 articles read · each link counted Read by mxverify on 29 October 2026: the homepage and 10 articles (10 from across its sitemap). This is our own reading of the site, not a vendor's figure, and it is what places a new link on the A–D scale until links placed here are audited. Strong sample 38 links to other sites across 10 articles published Jun 2026 – Oct 2026. Strong takes six or more articles and thirty or more links, spread over at least two months where the articles are dated. **Links its articles make to other sites** - Followed 0% - Nofollow 100% - Sponsored 0% - User-generated (ugc) 0% 38 links to other sites across 10 articles, share buttons left out. BV counts 100% of a new link's weight at most C, because that share of the site's own links is nofollow, sponsored or ugc. **What its homepage offers** No guest-post, sponsored-post or advertising pages linked from the homepage. ### Articles read | Article | Published | Words | Links out | Followed | Says | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Gemini 4 Argon: Ties Astra, While the Discount Holds](https://tess.im/blog/gemini-4-argon-ties-astra-while-the-discount-holds?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 1,224 | 5 | 0 | — | | [Mistral Large 4: Level with Luna, a Steeper Bill](https://tess.im/blog/mistral-large-4-level-with-luna?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 1,127 | 4 | 0 | — | | [Muse Wonder: The Stronger Model Is the Subscription](https://tess.im/blog/muse-wonder-stronger-model-is-the-subscription?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Oct 2026 | 1,351 | 5 | 0 | — | | [GPT-6.1 Sol: One Point Behind Astra, a Quarter of the Bill](https://tess.im/blog/gpt-6-1-sol-quarter-of-the-bill?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 1,565 | 4 | 0 | — | | [GPT-6 Sol and Luna: Half the Bill, a Thinner Deliverable](https://tess.im/blog/gpt-6-sol-luna-half-the-bill?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 1,549 | 8 | 0 | — | | [Claude Opus 5.5: Benchmarks, a Lower Bill, and a Fallback](https://tess.im/blog/claude-opus-5-5-benchmarks-bill-fallback?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 2,423 | 7 | 0 | — | | [Grok 4.7: Where It Lands on the Benchmarks](https://tess.im/blog/grok-4-7-where-it-lands?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 2,211 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Claude Sonnet 5.5: Cheap Below Max, Not at the Top](https://tess.im/blog/claude-sonnet-5-5-cheap-below-max?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 1,589 | 4 | 0 | — | | [The Real Cost Of AI](https://tess.im/blog/real-cost-of-ai?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Sept 2026 | 1,096 | 0 | 0 | — | | [Claude Fable 5: what it is, what it can do, and how much the world's most advanced AI model costs](https://tess.im/blog/claude-fable-5?utm_source=mxverify.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=site-report) | Jun 2026 | 1,520 | 1 | 0 | — | Jev, the model that judges every link in a bklink audit, reads these pages as a site whose links are mostly level **A** — A 95%, B 2.0%, C 3.0%, D 0%.

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites mxverify looked up tess.im'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.
