Review Scoring Criteria for our Porn Reviews

Introduction

The following ratings below are a guide for both our reviewers and also for our readers.

With this guide, at a glance you can now look at the scores for a site if you are in a hurry and don't have time to read the main review, and quickly ascertain the qualities and faults that a site has.

We have tried to make these guides as accurate as we possibly can, but please note that they are a GUIDE. From time to time, our review scores may well fall outside of these criteria but these would only be in exceptional circumstances.

If you have any questions about this page, whether you are a webmaster, reviewer or a surfer, don't hesitate to contact us via our forum, or email us at webmaster @ honestpornreviews.com

Overall Review Score

The overall score for the review is automatically calculated from the mathematical average of all the individual section scores below.

Content Quality

9.5-10 Exceeds the specs of 3840x2160 video.
9.2-9.4 3840x2160 video, 1000px+ photos.
9.1-9.2 1920x1080 video, 1000px+ photos.
8.1-9.0 1280x720 video, 1000px+ photos.
7.6-8.0 640x480 (1000kbps+) video, 800px+ photos.
7.5 or below Below the specified resolution standards.

Content Quantity

It is difficult to quantify exact scores in this category, as many factors such as length of videos, sizes of photo galleries. Bonus sites and content are NOT factored into this score. Therefore, this is a rough guide only.

A 'set of content' roughly defines a photo gallery or video.

9.5-10 1000+ sets of content.
9.0-9.4 501-1000 sets of content.
8.5-8.9 201-500 sets of content.
8.0-8.4 151-200 sets of content.
7.0-7.9 101-150 sets of content.
6.5-6.9 76-100 sets of content.
6.0-6.4 51-75 sets of content.
5.5-5.9 31-50 sets of content.
5.4 or below 30 sets of content or below.

Exclusive Content

Basically, if a site contains 100% content, it scores 5 / 5. If we are not sure of the exclusivity of a site's content, we will generally give them 2.5 / 5.

4.9-5.0 100% exclusive content.
4.0-4.9 80-99% exclusive content.
3.0-3.9 60-79% exclusive content.
2.0-2.9 40-59% exclusive content.
1.0-1.9 20-39% exclusive content.
0.0-0.9 0-19% exclusive content.

Download Speed

Obviously, if a video is low resolution, it will download more quickly than a high resolution one. Our scores always take the resolution of the videos into consideration, but also takes into consideration whether a site has taken steps to make downloading clips more quickly, such as a range of download speeds and smaller clips available on high resolution videos.

Therefore, these scores are hard to pin down, but generally higher resolution videos will score lower here. Also, if a site has no videos, this score is awarded for how quickly the site runs, and this element is one we also bear in mind if a site DOES have videos.

Navigation

Points here are awarded entirely depending on the reviewer's point of view. Our general criteria though sees a site lose marks for dead links, lack of menus, lack of thumbnails, poor menu system, lack of browsing options for both videos and photo galleries, poor design, misleading information, or an inability to browse back to home or menu pages with a single click.

Essentially, a site's navigation should make sure that all of its content is made immediately accessible and is well organised.

Price / Value

This score is awarded taking into account the qualities of all of the scores above, but also awards additional points for bonus sites and other bonus content.

A site's score depends on price to the extent that the smaller a site and its accompanying bonus content is, the lower the price should be. In other words, a site priced at $29.99 for over 100 ssets of content is generally regarded as our set template and we work the score upwards or downwards from there.

0.2 Points added for each additional bonus site or bonus feed of a reasonable size.
