[](https://worthtotry.com)How we check
We fetch your page and look for any link whose host is worthtotry.com. The link can point anywhere on the site, with or without www, and query parameters are fine. It has to be in the HTML your server returns — a link that only appears after JavaScript runs will not be seen.
A job sweeps once a day, oldest check first, up to 20 sites per run; a listing becomes due once its badge has gone 14 days unchecked. If the badge disappears, we mark it and get in touch before changing anything.
The badge, answered
Why would I put the WorthToTry badge on my site?
A free launch asks for one link back, and the badge is that link. It also earns the verified mark on your listing — that mark means exactly one thing, that a link to worthtotry.com was found in your page, and it is the only claim this directory makes about a product that it can prove.
How is the badge checked?
We fetch your page and look for any link whose host is worthtotry.com. It can point anywhere on the site, with or without www, over http or https, with query parameters, from any page you like. It has to be in the HTML your server returns — a link that only appears after JavaScript runs will not be seen.
How often is the badge re-checked?
A job sweeps once a day, oldest check first, up to 20 sites per run. A listing becomes due once its badge has not been checked for 14 days, so a directory of any size is swept over days rather than in one burst against everybody's servers at once.
What happens if my site is unreachable when you check?
The check records what went wrong — the HTTP status, or the reason the fetch failed — rather than claiming your link was missing. The verified mark itself comes off until a check finds the link again, because the mark means one thing only: a link was found the last time we looked.
Do I have to keep the badge up after launching?
For a free launch, yes — the backlink is what pays for the listing, and it is re-checked on a schedule rather than once at approval. If it disappears we mark the listing and get in touch before changing anything.
