Link still goes to candidlab website so you can read their reviews if you want.
Looks quite subjective to me with scores influenced by "taste and mixability" which are a matter of opinion, and price which varies hugely with promotions. Honestly IDK how valuable these "review sites" are, with their "click here to purchase" affiliate links.

Labdoor is quite well known, but as far as I can see their reviews of whey protein powders only consider the "% protein" but don't consider the quality of protein in the products, e.g. how much BCAA, how much leucine, etc.

If you register you'll have access to more data.

The candidlab states:

"The score for quality is calculated by our custom algorithms based on the declared content of the product."
Which means it's worthless.
