It is a varied collection covering plenty of fantasies that users can browse by categories.

Like is usual with these kinds of destinations, the smut is taken from major professional studios. Users look at the best in professional porn from the likes of Tushy, Digital Playground, Brazzers, Reality Kings, Naughty America, and Blacked among other top dogs. This review seeks to find out how the site stacks against other porn tubes. 

Site stats and traffic report

PlusOne8 was created in October 2015. According to Alexa Traffic Rank, the site is ranked at number 36,603, with 0.0017% of the global internet users visiting it. It receives about 77,116 unique visitors and 416,426 page views daily. It has the potential to earn about $993.22 per day from advertisement revenue. The site is estimated to be worth $725,125.03. Most of its traffic comes from the United States, where its servers are hosted as well as the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Canada.

No encrypted connection

Like the majority of readers know, porn sites, especially free "tube" sites, come with a lot of security risks. A good number of adult websites, but especially free "tube" sites, don't use HTTPS, a secure web protocol that gives visitors an extra layer of security. With plain HTTP, anyone – like hackers, the government, or malicious individuals – sitting between the user's browser and the webserver can snoop on the user's internet activity. Whoever's watching on the other side will know exactly what videos users have been looking at and what they've been typing into the search bar. PlusOne8 doesn't have a valid SSL/TLS certificate, meaning that users can only access the content here via HTTP. Those visiting this site are advised to put the right measures in place to protect themselves against the lurking dangers. Browsing this site (or many other porn destinations for that matter) over a public Wi-Fi is undoubtedly out of the question. 

The initial PlusOne8 experience

The porn tube sticks to the traditional display method with thumbnails showing the latest videos from top to bottom. They're not previewing thumbnails, but hovering the mouse pointer over them displays the best shots from the scenes. They also have a standard header link set up that should help users go to different parts of the site. The thumbnails show the scene title, its length, and a vote ratio. The site strikes the right balance between offering useful information and minimalism. It's really straightforward with no clutter.

The site presents a decent number of sorting options on the top of the content area. As mentioned, they start with the latest scenes, but users can further sort the content by longest, popular, and random. The header links allow users to browse by categories and pornstars alongside some other links that direct to outside sources. The site has also presented users with a search bar (albeit basic), and finding something specific should not be a challenge. Overall, it's a pretty solid first experience, and users can hope for an equally fantastic porn experience. 

The advertising is a little overboard

Browsing free pornography internet sites pose a significant risk of malware infection, especially if the site is peppered with ads, which is mostly the case at PlusOne8. While ads go hand in hand with free websites, PlusOne8 is teeming with loads of distractive advertisements pretty much everywhere the user looks. They are to the right of the videos, to the right of thumbnails, some popups here and there, and they show up when the video is paused as well. Most of them are sexual in nature, but that doesn't make them any less intrusive. Also, clicking on the search bar occasionally directs to a risky looking site. The same thing happens when attempting to play a video, which is a risk that visitors of this site will have to put up with. Needless to say, good antivirus software is an absolute necessity.

The video experience at PlusOne 8

There is no way of telling the exact number of videos on this site, but there is certainly a decent collection for users to check out. Like mentioned, the site welcomes users with thumbnails showing the latest videos. However, the thumbnails don't show the date, and users have to open the videos to figure out when it was updated. If the dates are anything to go by, several fresh videos are added every day, which is quite impressive.

That aside, the videos stream without significant issues. The site promises full HD porn videos, and although there is no option to sort the scenes by quality, the majority seem to be in decent resolutions (but clearly NOT Full HD or 4K as promised). The option to sort the videos by longest reveals there is a big collection of full-length scenes here, some of which run for over one hour. There are clickable tags below each video, which will help users discover even more videos. Users can also rate, share, and comments below the videos, although that's reserved for registered members. Registering is a simple process that only requires a username and a valid email. Other benefits of doing so are not immediately apparent, however.

Users can also download the videos directly from PlusOne8 using the download link provided. The 16 MB/s speed provided by the servers is impressive, although this could depend on the viewer's connection. Another thing is downloaded videos tend to be higher quality than streaming with most available in 720p HD.

Reliable categorization and hot performers

PlusOne8 offers a pretty varied collection of videos, which is illustrated in the list of categories. They cover quite a decent amount of niches, including anal, amateur, double penetration, cumshots, ebony, massage, handjob, and hardcore, among others. Those looking for location-specific smut can check out German, French, and Dutch porn alongside other options. There are tags on the right side of the categories page, which should also assist users in getting specific with their searches. 

The model directory at PlusOne8 also deserves mention. While there is an amateur category, the majority of the videos are actually studio produced and features some of the most famous performers. The likes of Abella Danger, Asa Akira, Cherie Deville, Jessa Rhoades, Kendra Lust, Lisa Ann, August Ames, and Julia Ann features heavily in the scenes, showing off their skills on a stiff meat rod. Individual model pages have no information about the performers apart from their collection of scenes. It's not necessarily a deal-breaker, but adding a bio and some stats would help users know more about their favorite pornstars. 

Things to love about PlusOne8

High-quality videos; granted, the scenes don't necessarily stream at 1080p like the site promises. However, they are available in good quality nonetheless, and viewers should have a wonderful time streaming the scenes.

Full-length scenes; the site has a decent collection of full-length scenes from the top studios available for both streaming and downloading. 

Updates; the update schedule may be unclear, but the dates are an indication that the site is adding fresh new scenes. 

Easy to use; the site features a simple and easy to browse layout, and users should find their way around with minimal effort. 

Possible concerns

Annoying ads; the experience is almost ruined by an invasion of absolutely intrusive ads that are littered everywhere across the site, including inside the video player.

No model bio; the site has lineup some of the most famous pornstars, but no information about them has been availed in their individual model pages. 

Recommendations

Well, they need to go slow on the ads for starters. There are way too many ads on the site, and seeking other income-generating avenues would be a smart move. The team should also consider offering users an encrypted connection to save them from lurking eyes in the shadows.

Conclusion

Overall, full length, stable quality adult videos are the rule of the game at PlusOne8 with the site offering thousands of videos that users can stream and download for free. The site has a pretty decent design, and visitors won't have a hard time locating content. The ads may be a menace, but it is ultimately a decent porn experience.
