01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The site functions as an ad-blocker testing utility that uses its own test results to funnel users toward 'Total Adblock', a product from the same corporate entity that makes TotalAV antivirus. The domain is over six years old with clean technical checks.
Technical checks show no threats
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the site uses a valid encrypted TLS connection.
The registrable domain is 2465 days old, indicating established operation rather than a newly created site.
Affiliate promotion of Total Adblock
The site explicitly recommends Total Adblock when test scores are under 90/100, stating it blocked the most ads and tracking scripts in their tests, with a limited-time discount of up to 80% off.
The site discloses that it comes from the same company that makes TotalAV antivirus, indicating a shared corporate interest with the promoted product.
Why the score is 78
The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Web research findings
Independent findings for adblock-tester.com, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for adblock-tester.com. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

This saved scan found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier.
adblock-tester.com has operated for years and this review found no material threat — a long track record, though it is never a guarantee on its own.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Certificate issued for adblock-tester.com.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
