## Summary

assafopenscience.co.za is in the census. Status: blocked when Palo last checked it, on 20 October 2026 (a 429, a robot check instead of the site, or a robots.txt that disallows Palo or cannot be read; its pages are not crawled). 2 sites in the census link to it, and it links to 10 sites (9 of them in the analysed graph).

Website: https://assafopenscience.co.za/

## Recorded about the site

Text in quotation marks is what the site declares about itself, quoted as data.

## Position in the link graph

The graph holds the active and blocked sites in the census and the links between them: 236,337 sites. Rank 1 is the highest.

- Links in (in-degree): 2 sites in the graph link to it
- Links out (out-degree): it links to 9 sites in the graph
- PageRank rank: 75,177 of 236,337
- PageRank rank without footer-only links: 56,359 of 236,337
- PageRank rank between registered names: 64,264 of 236,337
- Betweenness rank: 34,506 of 236,337
- Sites reachable by following links: about 54,155 (estimated)
- Community: one of 5,237 sites in its Louvain community

Definitions: in-degree and out-degree count links from and to other sites in the graph. PageRank weighs links by the rank of the sites they come from; every link counts the same, whatever its purpose. Without footer-only links, it leaves out links only ever seen in a page footer. Between registered names, it leaves out links between sites under one registered name, such as x.co.za and shop.x.co.za. Betweenness measures how often a site lies on the shortest paths between others. An island has no links to or from other sites in the graph; an unrecognised site links out but has no links in. A Louvain community is a group of sites more densely linked to each other than to the rest.
