Domain authority (DR) checker
Free Domain Rating (DR) checker
Ahrefs' Domain Rating, or DR, shows a domain's authority based on how many - and which - websites link to it. A higher rating generally means better competitiveness in search results, assuming your technical standards and content are also optimized.
What does your DR score mean?
0–10 — Starting Out
Freshly launched sites that don't have quality backlinks yet.
11–30 — Growing — e.g. hornet.ee (DR 20)
Local or niche sites gradually building authority.
31–50 — Established — e.g. ilm.ee (DR 47)
Businesses or blogs with a steady flow of backlinks.
51–70 — Strong — e.g. neti.ee (DR 55)
Popular industry sites, companies, or successful publishers.
71–100 — Elite — e.g. err.ee (DR 82), youtube.com (DR 99)
Global brands, major news outlets, and high-authority platforms.
Getting a higher DR takes more quality backlinks from other websites. If you'd like help with that, get in touch with us.
