1. Is it reliable or not?

2. Did you check the website address? Fake website addresses might have spelling mistakes, have a lot of numbers, or be unusually long.

3. Is it from a trusted source? Some sources such as official news websites, familiar websites, and websites that have been around for a long time, are more trustworthy than websites you may not have heard of before.

4. What do you notice about the pictures? Are the pictures on the website of low quality? Or do they look like they are too good to be true? If so, the information on that site might not be trustworthy.

5. Are there ads or popups? If there are a lot of ads or popups on the website, it might be a sign that the website is more about making money than about giving reliable information.

6. Is there an ‘About Us’ section? Some websites will often have a section on their website called ‘About Us.’ This section will give more information about the website and who it was created by.

7. Ask an adult! If you are unsure whether something online is real or fake, ask a trusted adult like a parent, guardian or teacher.
