A second opinion. Not a verdict.

Looks Sus describes community experiences with a main website domain, including its subdomains. It doesn’t scan pages, verify purchases, or prove whether a website is safe.

Sus Meter V2 pilot

When enabled, the main Sus score is a 0 to 100 concern index combining domain registration age, canonical-root HTTPS and a limited lookalike reference list with community votes. Higher means more concern, not a probability of fraud. The website and extension use the same backend assessment. Individual pages and purchases are not checked.

The neutral starting point is 50. Age, connection and lookalike checks have fixed weights of 25%, 25% and 50%. Missing or expired checks add no adjustment. A result with no evidence remains 50 with an unknown face and a Neutral baseline label. Valid HTTPS does not establish legitimacy; registration age is not business age; no reference match is not proof of safety.

Eligible votes fade linearly over 90 days. Each UTC date contributes at most 5 effective votes. Community influence is 0.70 times E/(E+20), where E is effective vote weight. It can affect the combined score before the legacy publication threshold. Integrity review removes community influence and hides restricted counts. The constants and ten-brand reference list are provisional heuristics, not validated detection accuracy. Reviewed warnings remain separate and automatic extension alerts retain the community policy.

Legacy community rating

We require at least 10 eligible votes spanning 2 UTC dates, with an eligible vote in the last 30 days. Votes count for 90 days from their latest change. Withdrawn and quarantined votes do not count.

A vote from 0–33 is positive, 34–66 is mixed, and 67–100 is negative. A band is mostly legit or mostly sus if at least 70% of eligible votes fall in that bucket; otherwise it is mixed. These are starting policy choices, not scientifically validated accuracy thresholds.

What the Sus percentage means

The community Sus percentage is the rounded average of eligible 0–100 votes, not the probability that a website is a scam. Without V2, the face sits at that average; the band still follows the 70% rule above. A mixed band can therefore have an average above 66%. The spectrum is read-only. Choose Looks Sus to Me (stored as 100) or Nevermind, Looks Legit (stored as 0). Your vote saves immediately. Adding or removing optional reasons also saves automatically. Earlier slider votes retain their original values until explicitly changed. Unknown, stale and paused ratings have no community percentage or face position.

When there is no score

Not enough ratings means the minimum count or two-date requirement has not been met. A stale rating has no eligible vote from the last 30 days. A paused rating is under integrity review and its counts are withheld. None of these states means safe or unsafe. A failed lookup means the service is unavailable, not that there are no reports.

The reasons behind the signal

Each vote can include up to 3 reasons. We display the top 3 reasons with at least 3 votes each. Reasons don’t change the vote’s weight. A reviewed warning is separate evidence and does not change the community band.

Your session, your take

No public account is needed. Sessions last up to 24 hours. You can change or remove your vote while the session is active; accepted votes can remain afterward. Multiple sessions can contribute, so counts are votes, not unique people.
