How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from tools.cafe at $129 (level B), priced on a blend of link types (B 96% · C 1% · D 3%): $64 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $161 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $267 before relevance. A quote far above $167 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2026.
mxverify looked up tools.cafe'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.
- tools.cafe gives more than one kind of link (B 96% · C 1% · D 3%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $267 and a guest or sponsored one $134, before relevance.
