Relevance moves it: $64 to an unrelated site, $161 to a same-topic site. In short: a link from tools.cafe is worth about $129 to rankings, up to $161 on the same topic. Source: [mxverify BV 2.9 methodology](https://mxverify.uk/methodology) ### Is a link from tools.cafe worth placing?

A price far above $167 for a 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 tools.cafe's BV compare with other sites?

Server and network a CDN edge, shared by unrelated sites 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.
