Credible and Reliable Websites
Is the information accurate?
https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/tiger
This website's information is accurate because the website states all of the facts and the author is a professional in this article. It also has a contact us link to contact the author.
To see if the information is accurate you could check other websites to fact check that information or you could check the author to see if he/she is a credible source.
Something else to look for in credible information is the date the website was made and who the author is and to check the suffix.
Is there bias?

This website isn't biased because this website doesn't have any ads and isn't trying to sell you something it is just stating the facts.
You should look at the suffix at the end of the website link for a .gov or .edu link because these websites are the most reliable. You should also look to see if the website has any ads because that means it is trying to sell you something.
To check for bias you can look at the about us tab and see who the author is to see if he/she is a reliable source to research off of.
When was it made?
