Domain Rank Checker

Enter a domain to see its Ahrefs Domain Rating. A live check, nothing stored.

How to use

  1. 1

    Enter a domain in the field above. A bare domain or a full URL both work.

  2. 2

    Click Check DR.

  3. 3

    Read the domain's live Domain Rating, fetched from Ahrefs on the spot.

Tip: you can check any publicly registered domain, not just ones you own.

What is Domain Rating (DR)?

Domain Rating is a metric from Ahrefs, scored 0-100, that measures the relative strength of a website's backlink profile: how many other sites link to it, and how strong those linking sites are themselves. It's on a logarithmic scale, so it's a comparative signal rather than a fixed percentage of anything: a higher DR means a comparatively stronger backlink profile than a lower one, not "DR 80 has twice the links of DR 40."

The number shown here comes from a live call to Ahrefs' own API each time you check a domain. It's never cached or precomputed by this tool.

This is one link-profile metric among many things Ahrefs (and other tools) measure. It is not a full SEO audit, and a high or low DR alone doesn't determine how well a site actually performs in search results.

FAQ

Is this tool free?

Yes, no login required either.

Where does the Domain Rating come from?

A live call to Ahrefs' own public API each time you check a domain. It's never cached or stored by this tool.

Do you store the domains I check?

No. Nothing about a check (the domain, the result, or that it happened at all) is saved anywhere.

Can I check any domain?

Yes, any publicly registered domain, not just ones you own.

Why does the number look different from what I saw before?

Domain Rating is a live, continuously-updated Ahrefs metric. It naturally changes over time as backlink profiles change, so a check today can genuinely differ from one done earlier.

Is Domain Rating the same as a Google ranking?

No. It measures backlink-profile strength only. That's one signal among many that influence real search rankings, not a projection of search position.
