To judge a website you should use the 5 Ws.The 5 Ws are:
ReplyDeleteWho: Who posted the website?
What: What are their credentials?
Where: Where can I contact the author?
When: When was this posted? When was it updated?

Those 5 Ws can help you figure out if a website is trustworthy or not. So if you have your doubts, use the 5 Ws.
E.W.
If want to know if the website you’re looking on is trustworthy, ask yourself these 5 W’s: Is the author of the site an expert, what is the author’s knowledge and skill, when the site was last updated, and why should I use this website. Always use the 5 W’s so you know what to trust.

Always use this advice when using websites, the advice is use the 5 W’s they can help you know a little more about the website you’re using by informing you who wrote it and if they are an expert, what do they know about that subject, why was the information posted and why should I trust it, where can I contact the author, when was the website posted and when was it updated.

When I do research, the clues that I look for to see if it is trustworthy are the 5W's clues. First, who posted the website? Is that person an expert in what he posted? Next, I ask myself what does that person know about what he posted? Where did he get the information he posted and when was the information updated. I will also want to ask myself why was the information posted. The 5 W's are helpful in research and help us determine if the website is trustworthy.

The five W`s are who, what, when, where, and why. Who created the website. If you did not know who created the website it might be a trick. What does it contain. You need to know what it contains because it may be bad. When was the website created. Because the information could be wrong. Where did they get the information from. Because it could be fake. Why did they post it. There has to be a reason why it was posted.

You should use the 5 W`s to see if the website is truthful. Such as who are the authors? What are the author's credentials? When was the site last updated? Why did the authors build the website, was it to teach you, to inform you, to advertise, or to sell? What is the URL? Where did the authors get the info? If you use all these things and are satisfied with the answers then the website can be something you can rely on.

Here are some things to look out for when using the internet. Look at what website you are on, who writes for it and when the information was last updated. You should also think about if the author is an expert in the topic or just a regular person. You should also consider what type of website the information is on. Is it a blog or a research site. If it is a blog, it probably will be mostly opinion. In addition you should consider why the information was posted. For example, if it was posted because they want to sell you something, the writing will be different then if it is written to explain something.
