How this checker works
Enter a domain or website URL. The checker finds the domain and retrieves its Domain Rating from Ahrefs.

What the score tells you
DR describes the relative strength of a domain's backlink profile in Ahrefs' database. It runs from 0 to 100 on a logarithmic scale, so a ten-point move does not mean the same thing at every level.
Compare websites using the same metric. DR is different from Moz Domain Authority. For the calculation behind the score, read Ahrefs' explanation of DR.
What to do with your result
