Free Domain Rating checker

Check the Domain Rating of any website. Use it to judge a link, a partner or a rival. Paid plans add TrueDR, the same score after a trust and traffic check.

Free. Any website. No account needed. Listed websites also show traffic.

What counts as a good Domain Rating?

Each DR step needs more strong links than the one before it. A move from 70 to 75 takes far more than a move from 20 to 25. Compare your score with the websites you meet in search, not with the whole web.

  1. New

    0-20

    A brand-new or very small website. A handful of good links moves the score fast here.

  2. Growing

    21-40

    A real backlink base is forming. Most young startups and blogs sit in this band.

  3. Established

    41-60

    Solid backlink strength. Enough to compete for medium-difficulty search terms in most markets.

  4. Strong

    61-80

    Well-known brands and category leaders. Each point costs serious link strength.

  5. Elite

    81-100

    Major platforms, publishers and institutions. Very few websites ever get here.

DR, DA and TrueDR

Three scores that sound alike. Only one of them checks whether the links carry trust.

Domain Rating vs Domain Authority

Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA) both score a website's links. Each provider uses its own data and its own rules. One website can get two different numbers. Google uses neither. Compare websites with one score at a time.

What TrueDR adds

DR scores the strength of a website's links. TrueDR checks whether trust and traffic support that score. A website with DR 70 and TrueDR 40 has a wide trust gap. A website with a higher TrueDR has more trust behind its links.

Domain Rating checker questions

What is Domain Rating?

Domain Rating (DR) is a 0 to 100 score for backlink strength. It looks at how many websites link to a website and how strong those websites are. The scale gets harder as the score rises. A move from DR 70 to 75 takes far more link strength than a move from DR 20 to 25.

Is domain rank the same as Domain Rating?

Yes. People use domain rank, domain rating and DR for the same idea. Each term points to a 0 to 100 estimate of backlink strength. This checker shows DR. TrueDR, on the paid plans, checks the score against trust and traffic data.

What is a good Domain Rating?

It depends on your market. DR 0 to 20 fits a new or small website. DR 21 to 40 is growing. DR 41 to 60 is established. DR 61 to 80 is strong. Major websites often score 81 or more. Compare your DR with the websites you meet in search results.

Is Domain Rating the same as Domain Authority?

No. Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA) are competing metrics from different providers. Each uses its own link index and its own formula. They often land in a similar range for the same website but can differ a lot. Google uses neither. Both are third-party estimates of backlink strength.

What is TrueDR, and how is it different from DR?

DR measures backlink strength, so spam links, link schemes and pages nobody visits can inflate it. TrueDR is a separate trust score from 0 to 100, and DR is never an input. It adds up evidence from link quality, linking websites, traffic and website age. Then it scales down when the links bring no visitors. When TrueDR sits far below DR, the headline score is thinner than it looks.

Is this Domain Rating checker free?

Yes. You can look up the DR of any website for free. You can also add your website, compare two websites and view a Trust Map. TrueDR comes with every paid plan. A monthly plan adds saved search terms, link exchange matching and a new DR growth plan each week.

Can I check several websites at once?

The web checker looks up one website at a time. For batches, the vdr CLI and the REST API return DR, TrueDR and trust data as JSON on a paid plan. That suits scripts, dashboards and agents. The Chrome extension checks websites as you browse. Listed websites are free there, with a small monthly meter for new ones.
