Affiliate Disclosure

Quick Summary

Some outbound links to third-party products or services are affiliate links
If you buy or sign up through one, we may earn a commission - at no extra cost to you
Affiliate links are labeled "(affiliate)" and use rel="sponsored nofollow"
Our recommendations are based on merit; a commission never changes the advice we give
All of our tools remain completely free to use

1. What This Disclosure Covers

View Page Source ("we", "our", or "the Service"), available at www.view-page-source.com, is free to use and supported mainly by advertising. To help keep it free and to fund ongoing development, some outbound links to third-party products or services on this site are affiliate links. This page explains what that means, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and the requirements of the affiliate programs we take part in.

2. What Affiliate Links Are

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that lets a partner know you arrived from View Page Source. If you click one and then make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission. That commission comes from the partner's marketing budget - it does not increase the price you pay. You are never charged more for using an affiliate link than you would be otherwise.

3. Editorial Independence

Our recommendations are based on merit, not commission. We only suggest tools and services we believe are genuinely useful to the developers, webmasters, and site owners who use View Page Source.

An affiliate relationship never changes the guidance we give. Where one of our tools reports an issue - for example, an SEO problem or a missing security header - the fix comes first. Any related product suggestion is clearly secondary and optional, and never displaces the correct, actionable advice. If we would not recommend a product without an affiliate arrangement, we do not recommend it because of one.

4. How We Label Affiliate Links

We aim to make affiliate links obvious wherever they appear:

They are marked with an "(affiliate)" label next to the link
They use the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, following Google's guidance for paid and sponsored links
Product suggestions shown inside a tool's results appear as clearly optional "next step" recommendations, separate from the analysis itself

5. No Cost to You

Using an affiliate link never costs you anything extra. Whether you use our link or go to a partner directly, the price is the same. Affiliate commissions simply help us keep View Page Source free and fund new tools and features.

6. Advertising

Separately from affiliate links, this site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Ad personalization and consent are handled through Google's certified consent management platform and described in our Privacy Policy. Advertising and affiliate links are independent of one another.
