What Is chaturbate.com, and Is It Safe?

Last Updated on October 20, 2024 by Mathew Diekhake

Chaturbate (chaturbate.com) is a sex cam site.

Chaturbate is owned by Multi Media LLC and competes with BongaCams and LiveJasmin. There are also adult clip sites that use Chaturbate clips such as Cloudbate and XHomeAlone. Popular Chaturbate performers include mashayang, hotfallingdevil, caylin, hayleex, enncandy, siswet19, wildtequilla, sophydiva, ehotlovea, and pinkncrazy. Many porn stars also use Chaturbate, such as Kailani Kai.

ALTERNATIVES

Similar sites to chaturbate.com include myfreecams.com, archivebate.com, cam4.com, camwhores.video, pornhub.com, camwhores.tv, stripchat.com, spankbang.com, xvideos.com, and livecamrips.com.

DESCRIPTION

The homepage of chaturbate.com had 12 rows of eight webcam thumbnails. Each of the thumbnails could be clicked and it opened the sex cam for that particular model. It was notable that the thumbnails on the homepage were small and if I zoomed in with my browser, the thumbnails would get larger but it resulted in fewer thumbnails visible per row. I preferred to view the homepage of chaturbate.com with the zoom set to 150% and sacrifice the rest of the thumbnails. Each model is given their own single post page with their webcam feed and each thumbnail on the homepage is devoted to one model. Each model’s cam is only set up after the model has chosen to sign up to chaturbate.com and accept its terms and conditions. Generally, it’s rare for a model to be banned from chaturbate.com, but it can happen if the model’s video is not live and if they break other rules. Unlike on some other sex cam sites, models on chaturbate.com are encouraged to allow users in their rooms even if they are not subscribers. If a user wants to take a model private, it means that the rest of the room will be blocked from the show unless they pay to view the same show. Some models sign up to multiple services and stream at the same time from the same camera, so they may be in a private show on one network yet available to be seen on another network.

HISTORY

As of December 2023, chaturbate.com has 440.1 million monthly views (475.8 Dec 2022), according to Similar Web. The Wayback Machine estimates that chaturbate.com was founded on May 21, 2011. The Internet Archive has saved chaturbate.com 204,563 times between May 21, 2011, and February 21, 2023. It started getting lots of traffic immediately after its first save which suggests it had affiliations with other sites or advertised to grow its traffic. It has been saved consistently each year suggesting similar traffic; however, the saves did increase during 2018 and remained at the elevated level, suggesting it became even more popular then. The rate of saves has been extremely consistent over the last two years.

Is chaturbate.com Safe?

Here, I analyzed chaturbate.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:

I checked chaturbate.com on Sucuri, and it returned as a medium security risk.

Sucuri says chaturbate.com returned as a medium security risk because it returned a 403 Forbidden status and TLS recommendations (HTTPS version is not accessible and no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS).

I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on chaturbate.com, and it is clean.

I also checked chaturbate.com on VirusTotal, and it is clean.

Further, chaturbate.com passed all blocklist engines on URLVoid.

In conclusion, Sucuri says chaturbate.com returned as a medium security risk because it returned a 403 Forbidden status and TLS recommendations (HTTPS version is not accessible and no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS). Unmask Parasites says chaturbate.com is clean of parasites. VirusTotal and Sucuri say chaturbate.com isn’t malicious or blacklisted. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.
