How the Roundup Score works
PornRoundup is a reference database, not a hype list. Every one of the 1,329 tracked sites is crawled weekly and re-scored with the same formula. The Roundup Score favors library depth, freshness and trust — the qualities that make a directory entry reliable over time. Nothing is curated by hand and no position can be bought.
Each metric is measured on a 0–100 scale, multiplied by its weight and summed; the result is divided by ten and shown on the familiar 0–10 scale with one decimal.
The exact weights
| Metric | Weight |
|---|---|
| Library depth | 20% |
| Freshness | 14% |
| Video quality | 16% |
| Player & UX | 10% |
| Mobile experience | 8% |
| Trust & safety | 12% |
| Popularity | 6% |
| Low ad pressure | 8% |
| Free access | 6% |
Ad pressure is inverted before weighting — a site with zero interruptive ads gets 100 points, each level of ad aggression removes 25. “Visit” buttons go through our /go/ redirect and carry rel="sponsored nofollow"; affiliate relationships never touch the scoring pipeline.
