Online IQ tests are skewed, right?

I was reading from one website how they score IQ, which is based on the average of every test taken. Knowing humanity, they most likely repeatedly have taken this IQ over and over until they memorized each question and answer to get their desired IQ. This leads the IQ average to be harder, making people have lower IQ than they actually do.

Is the website I am talking about.
