Frequently asked questions
This tool reports Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) on a scale of 0 to 100. It does not report Moz Domain Authority or include a list of backlinks or referring domains.
Use the score as a relative comparison with relevant websites in the same niche. A single score is not enough to judge a website’s content quality or search performance.
A domain may not be present in the source index. A missing result is not the same as a score of zero or evidence that the website has no links.
Results depend on Ahrefs’ data, and this tool may reuse a cached result for up to one hour. The report does not include a source update date.
Enter a domain or website URL and select Check authority to see its Ahrefs Domain Rating when available. Repeat the lookup for competitors in your niche to compare backlink strength using the same provider and scale.
Publish useful resources that relevant websites have a reason to reference, promote them to your audience, and pursue relevant partnerships or directory listings. Focus on the quality and relevance of referring websites. These activities do not guarantee a higher Domain Rating or better search rankings.
