Description

Pornhub (pornhub.com) is a porn tube site owned by Aylo (formerly MindGeek) which owns other sites such as YouPorn, RedTube, and Brazzers. It offers free porn videos. It is known for its high-definition short videos that are often snippets taken from premium videos you would otherwise have to pay for the full versions. Pornhub also offers user profiles and for users to upload their own porn content. A user profile can also add friends similar to a social media site such as Facebook. PornHub is the 13th most trafficked site in the world and only second to Xvideos in the pornography niche.

Site Navigation / Overview

When I analyzed pornhub.com, it had a homepage that I know it was the originator of even though I see similar designs on other porn tubes: orange logo, black background, and the general page wrap and page width, along with its thumbnail style. Pornhub.com had 16 rows of video thumbnails with four thumbnails per row. Each thumbnail showed me a preview of the video when I hovered over it. The thumbnails were linked directly to single post pages of those videos. If I wanted to browse for a category I had to choose that category from the menu in the header. There were tags above the top row of homepage video thumbnails that generally featured pornstar names. Sometimes when I moved the mouse around the homepage, it would load a series of thumbnails from the menu. These alternative thumbnails loaded too easily in my opinion and gave a spammy feel to them which is unlike PornHub. I took a look at what section of the site kept popping up on my display and it was the Live Cam category flyout with its thumbnails. This is the paid section of the site that links directly to networked links on livehdcams.com. I hovered over the other categories to see if they had flyouts that acted the same and in my opinion, they took longer to load/were less likely to load on my display. 1/12/2023

5 star site. Can't beat it unless you want OnlyFans models

When you visit PornHub today, you get a warning screen where you agree to being above age 18, and then you have to agree to their cookie policy if you want to be able to see all of the site features. So you need to make 2 clicks before you even see the homepage. Not entirely their fault, though, as the EU wants every person in the world to have to click a cookie consent policy. Not much has changed with PornHub over the years, apart from the CMS looking more modern and it becoming harder to find the categories I want to click. None of my favorite categories are visible when I hover on Categories, which means I have to click to get to them. It has become easier to browse by pornstar, which is often used as a secondary category navigation option. Some might find it difficult to see how to view all categories. You have to click on the small link to the left called All, and then it opens the rest of them. Since there are so many categories, you can use the search box on the category landing page to type the category you want instead. The video player on PornHub has received an upgrade lately, and it's now very high quality and currently better than Xvideos IMO. The category landing pages also have more video thumbnails on them than they used to, which makes it closer to Xvideos navigation, which I like.

It Is Safe. The Community Score is Debatable

The negative community score could be related to people constantly submitting DMCA take-down requests because some random person has uploaded their content without permission. In fairness to PornHub, it has removed large chunks of content on its site over the years that were videos of cam girls, etc, that were uploaded without permission. Due to the rise of cam girl sites and their videos being published elsewhere, many porn tube sites have been complained about in recent years. That in itself doesn't mean the site isn't safe, however. It means that it annoys some people. That being said, PornHub is one of the rare adult sites that actually runs an advertising network. The network is called TrafficJunky. People in the community may be complaining about TrafficJunky. But I think that is less likely.

Thanks. We can review TrafficJunky and check. I will review it today and update your post with the link.

I have been using PornHub for many years. Not much has changed over the years. Around ten years ago they made some changes to the category menu which I didn’t like because the categories I used to click on now require an extra click to open up the rest of the menu. But I presume they did that because they wanted to put their most used cateries to the top which allowed most of their traffic better navigation. And maybe it has been one of the reasons for their success. I don’t use PornHub that much anymore. I don’t particularly enjoy any porn tube sites nowadays. I used cam sites instead. But if I were to use a tube site, I would probably choose Xvideos first. I find browsing categories easier and something decent to watch easier than on PornHub. But PornHub is probably in my top 3 tube sites.
