Domain Rating (DR) Checker
Check the Domain Rating of any website, compare DR for up to ten competitors, or browse the top domains by DR. Free, with Domain Rating by Ahrefs.
Domain Rating measures relative backlink-profile strength, not Google rankings. Results do not include backlink lists, referring domains, organic keywords or keyword gaps. DR list rank is only returned by the "Top domains by Domain Rating" tool; Single Domain Rating and Compare do not include a rank.
What is Domain Rating (DR)?
Domain Rating is Ahrefs' score from 0 to 100 for the strength of a website's backlink profile: how many other sites link to it, and how strong those sites are in turn. A higher DR means a stronger link profile. The scale is logarithmic, so moving from DR 20 to 30 is far easier than from 70 to 80.
How to use this DR checker
- Single Domain Rating: enter one website to see its DR.
- Compare up to ten domains: enter your site and your competitors, one per line, to see where you stand.
- Top domains by Domain Rating: browse Ahrefs' ranking of the strongest domains, 100 at a time.
You can enter a bare domain such as example.com or a full URL; the rating is for the whole domain. DR is not a Google metric and doesn't predict rankings on its own. More about Domain Rating in the FAQ.
