Editorial policy

The main goal of researched.xyz pages is to help visitors choose, not merely to route traffic through affiliate links. Tables and provider pages consider proxy type, catalog pricing, country coverage, payments, trial/demo terms, support, RS Score and available alternatives.

Affiliate status can only act as a disclosed commercial factor between otherwise similar options. It must not create invented advantages.

RS Score is an internal editorial/testing score from researched.xyz. It is not a user rating, aggregateRating, reviewCount or a promise of provider performance.

For proxies, the score can use DNS leaks, network reliability, ping, packet loss, speed and other dataset fields when present. The full explanation lives on the Researched Proxy Score page.

Pages with too little data, empty results, unverified deals, broken sources or duplicate intent can be excluded from sitemap or noindexed until fixed.

We should not invent prices, verification dates, reviews or ratings. Missing data should be solved with sources, imports or manual review instead of smoothing over the gap.

A promo code is displayed as an operational catalog fact. Visitors should still verify the current terms on the provider website before paying.

Outbound CTAs lead to provider websites. researched.xyz does not sell services directly and does not control the visitor account on the provider side.
