Paste up to ten domains of any extension and get the Ahrefs Domain Rating, the domain age in years, months and days, backlinks count and referring domains for every one of them in a single table.
Enter one domain per line, a maximum of ten, and check the Domain Rating and domain age of the whole list in one go. Every domain extension works, including .pk, .in and other country codes.
Checking domain metrics one website at a time can take a lot of time when you are researching competitors, reviewing link-building prospects, or comparing websites. This Bulk DR Checker lets you check up to 10 domains in one go and review the available results together.
Enter the domains you want to analyze, run the check, and compare the reported metrics. Along with Domain Rating, the tool also shows the age of each domain, giving you another useful piece of information when reviewing a list of websites.
The results can give you a quick starting point when you need to review several websites before making an SEO or outreach decision.
Domain Rating, commonly called DR, is an Ahrefs metric that represents the strength of a website's backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. It is based mainly on the links pointing to a domain and the strength of the websites providing those links.
DR is useful for comparing backlink profiles, but it is not a Google ranking score. A higher DR does not automatically mean that a website will rank higher for every keyword. Search rankings depend on many factors, including relevance, content quality, search intent, technical SEO, links, and the competition for a query.
A single domain check is useful when you are analyzing one website. Bulk checking becomes more helpful when you have a list of websites to review.
The tool is designed to provide more than a single DR number. When you check a domain, the results can also show its domain age along with other available metrics. This makes it easier to review several aspects of a website during the initial screening stage.
| Metric | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Domain Rating | Provides a view of the strength of the domain's backlink profile based on the DR metric. |
| Domain Age | Shows how long the domain has been registered based on the available domain information. |
| Backlinks | Shows available information about links pointing to the domain. |
| Referring Domains | Shows the number of unique domains reported as linking to the website. |
Domain age can provide additional context when you are reviewing a list of websites. It tells you how long a domain has been registered, which can help you understand its history alongside other available information.
However, domain age should not be treated as a ranking factor or a guarantee of website quality. An older domain is not automatically better than a newer one. The site's content, relevance, organic visibility, backlink profile, and overall quality are still important.
A common mistake is to judge a website only by its DR. Domain Rating can be useful for comparing backlink profiles, but it should not be treated as a complete measure of a website's quality.
Before using a website for outreach or link building, also check its topical relevance, organic search visibility, content quality, traffic trends, indexing, outbound links, and overall website condition.
For a broader website review, you can also use our free SEO tools to check other areas of SEO and website optimization.
DR and domain age can help you filter a large list of domains, but they should not be the only selection criteria for a backlink opportunity.
Start by checking whether the website is relevant to your topic or industry. A relevant website with a genuine audience can be more useful than a high-metric domain that has little connection to your content.
Next, review the site's organic visibility and content. Look for regularly updated pages, useful articles, clear topical focus, and signs that the website attracts real search traffic.
You should also review the website's backlink profile and referring domains. A strong-looking metric does not automatically mean that every link from that website will be valuable.
Manual checking can work well when you only have a few websites to evaluate. The problem becomes clear when your prospect list contains dozens or hundreds of domains.
A bulk checker is useful for the first screening stage. You can quickly compare a group of domains, review their DR and domain age, remove obvious low-priority prospects, and then spend more time manually reviewing the websites that remain.
This makes the process more efficient without treating one metric as the final decision.
This type of tool can be useful whenever you need to compare several domains at the same time. Common use cases include SEO competitor research, link-building prospecting, guest post research, website evaluation, and agency outreach campaigns.
It can also help when you receive a long list of domains and need a quick way to organize your initial research before performing a more detailed SEO review.
The best way to use DR and domain age is as part of a larger evaluation process. A useful prospect should make sense for your goals, audience, and niche rather than simply having a high metric or an older registration date.
If you are evaluating a website for a backlink opportunity, consider relevance, content quality, organic visibility, backlink profile, referring domains, domain age, and overall website quality.
For additional backlink research, you can also use our Backlink Checker to review available backlink information.
A Bulk DR Checker allows you to check Domain Rating for multiple domains in one process instead of checking each website separately.
This tool allows you to check up to 10 domains at a time.
Yes. When a domain is checked, the available results also show the domain's age along with its DR and other available metrics.
There is no single DR score that makes a website good or bad. The right benchmark depends on the niche, competition, backlink profile, and purpose of the website you are evaluating.
No. DR is an Ahrefs metric and is not a Google ranking score. A high DR alone does not guarantee higher rankings.
No. DR and Domain Authority are different metrics created by different SEO platforms. They use different calculations, so their scores should not be treated as identical.
No. DR and domain age should be considered alongside relevance, content quality, organic visibility, backlinks, referring domains, and the overall quality of the website.
Add up to 10 domains above and compare the available metrics in one place. Along with DR, check the reported domain age and other available information to create a better initial picture of each website.
Use these results as a quick screening step, then review promising websites in more detail before making an SEO or link-building decision.
