Run the check
Click Check DR. The tool fetches the live Ahrefs Domain Rating and shows it on a 0 to 100 gauge with a strength label.
Read, export, or share
Read the score and band, export a bulk list to CSV, or share a single result with a link that opens the score directly.
What your Domain Rating score means
Domain Rating, or DR, is an Ahrefs metric that scores the strength of a website’s backlink profile from 0 to 100. The scale is logarithmic, so moving from 20 to 30 is far easier than moving from 70 to 80. A higher DR means more and stronger referring domains pointing at the site.
DR is not a direct Google ranking factor, but it tracks closely with how well a site can rank for competitive terms, which is why SEOs check it before a guest post, a link buy, or a competitor review. This free checker pulls the real Ahrefs DR, not an estimate, so the number you see matches what Ahrefs reports. It is free, needs no sign up or login, works on a single domain or a bulk list, and stores nothing.

Domain Rating checker FAQ
What is a good Domain Rating?
It depends on the niche, but as a guide: 0 to 19 is low and typical of new sites, 20 to 39 is developing, 40 to 59 is moderate authority, 60 to 79 is strong, and 80 to 100 is excellent and usually reserved for large, well-linked brands.
Is this Domain Rating checker free?
Yes. The checker is free with no sign up, no login, and no API key needed. Check a single domain or a bulk list of up to five without creating an account.
Is Domain Rating the same as Domain Authority?
No. Domain Rating (DR) is an Ahrefs metric based on backlink strength, while Domain Authority (DA) is a separate Moz metric. They use different data and scales, so a site can have a different DR and DA. This tool reports DR.
Does a high Domain Rating mean better Google rankings?
Not directly. DR is not a Google ranking factor, but it correlates with a site's ability to rank for competitive keywords because both depend on a strong backlink profile. Treat DR as a signal, not a guarantee.
How is Domain Rating calculated?
Ahrefs calculates DR from the number and quality of unique websites linking to a domain, placed on a 0 to 100 logarithmic scale. More high-quality referring domains push the score higher, with each step harder than the last.
Can I check multiple domains at once?
Yes. Switch to Bulk mode and paste up to five domains, one per line. You get each DR in a sortable table with a strength label, and you can export the whole list to CSV.
