Once opened, the website displayed an 18+ age warning and a link to the Kekma community site, stumpgrinder.info. The stumpgrinder link used to go to a Discord server, before the server was taken down by Discord administrators.<ref name=":0"><nowiki>https://www.stumpgrinder.info</nowiki></ref>  A link at the very bottom of the page lead to Kekma.net's PeerTube site, tube.kekmahub.com, and a link at the very top of the page lead to the e-mail of the "Kekma Krew." While clicking the community link lead to stumpgrinder.info, clicking the 18+ warning forced your web browser into fullscreen, played two extremely loud sound effects of people screaming, changed your cursor into a picture of a mutilated penis in the shape of a [[wikipedia:Swastika|swastika]], and played a video of a man squatting in a pool of semi-clotted blood, forcing a large, bloodstained industrial screw down his urethra in the middle of the page. The page background was two brightly flashing images: a man whose face was smashed by a bear, and a surgical image of a man who held a firecracker for too long.

Before March 13, 2020, the video at the center of the site was a medical recording of pork tapeworm cysts pressed from a human liver, and the background images went through various iterations. The most infamous pair was a photoshop of interracial porn made to look like a man having sex with an exploded corpse, and a supposed movie prop of a zombie baby with a penis photoshopped over the top of it. This was removed when the creator started to have concerns that it may be medical image that had been mistakenly called a prop and was replaced with two Chinese pictures of a dog meat skinning.

On February 16, 2022, Kekma.net reached 30 million visits, and the creator removed all shocking content from the site, after three years of operation. The site now shows a message explaining that the site had served its purpose, which was to study how a shock site can spread across the world with no advertising budget in the modern internet era. The creator encourages people to make their website to replace Kekma.net. Despite the shutdown of Kekma.net, the two community websites, stumpgrinder.info and tube.kekmahub.com remain active.

In July 2020, search interest for Kekma.ga spiked once again. On the 22nd of July, 2020, the kekma.ga domain was seized for obscene content, and the site was moved to kekma.xyz. Kekma.ga had a link to their discord server on the front page. However, the Discord server was banned after the link gained attention by circulating several other servers.<ref name=":0" /> The link was later changed to kkkekma@protonmail.com, and finally to stumpgrinder.info.

The website was shut down a second time, as the kekma.xyz domain was seized by Namecheap, who claimed that the site contained "support of violence". This was very likely due to a series of TikTok videos falsely claiming that Kekma had secret political extremist and Satanism-related training sections, and used subliminal messages to cause violent thoughts.
