Domain Authority Checker
If you want to rank higher in search engines, you need a higher domain authority.
But what if you don’t know what your domain authority is?
And how can you be confident that your efforts are increasing your website authority?
A domain authority (DA) checker is a tool designed to help you calculate the domain authority of any domain, as well as other metrics, so you can better understand your current standing and the effects of your strategic efforts.
And we just happen to have one for you to use.
What Is Domain Authority (DA)?
First, what exactly is domain authority (DA)?
Domain authority is a metric devised by Moz to estimate the relative authority, or trustworthiness, of a given domain. The scale of domain authority ranges from 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest; generally, the higher your domain authority score is, the more likely your pages are to rank highly in search engine results pages (SERPs), though there are other factors that come into play as well.
A Moz domain authority of 40-50 is considered average, while a domain authority of 50-60 is considered good and anything above 60 is considered excellent.
There are several factors that enter the domain authority equation, but the most important factor is arguably links. Google and other search engines use links as a vote of confidence; earning a link from a specific domain means you have the implicit approval of that domain, a marker of trust and deference to authority.
The quantity and quality of links pointing to your domain are both important considerations. Having more links is, in many cases, a good thing, since it means there are more instances of other domains citing yours as a resource. However, the value of a link depends on the domain authority of the referring domain; earning a link from a high authority website with a DA of 80 is much better than earning a link from a website with a domain authority of 20. Additionally, earning repeated links from the same domain isn’t nearly as valuable as earning links from different domains.
By analyzing individual pages and keywords using Google Analytics, Google Search Console (reviewing accelerated mobile pages), Core Web Vitals (reviewing page speed) and other keyword research tools, we create a detailed roadmap that is industry agnostic and fully-repeatable for ranking in search engines.
Your on-site content audit will perform keyword research to compare all the pages of your site, taking into account content quality, duplicate content, keyword stuffing and keyword cannibalization issues that might be hurting your rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs).
Understand impact of site-wide and individual web pages with a comprehensive look at backlink diversity, link velocity, anchor text variability, TLD diversity, internal links and internal link structure.

Why should you use a domain authority (DA) checker tool?
Baseline Metrics
Some people use the domain authority checker as a way to get a baseline metric. In other words, what is your domain authority at the start of your latest SEO campaign? Once you have this metric, you can much more reliably see the fruits of your labor.
Strategy Analytics
The domain authority checker is also valuable for analyzing the effects of your strategy and tracking your progress. If your domain authority grows higher every month, you can feel confident that your efforts are working.
Issue Identification
Periodically checking your domain authority can also bring your attention to potential issues so you can troubleshoot them. For example, if you notice that your domain authority declines, you may have the opportunity to track down problematic domains linking to your website that are responsible for the problem.
Competitive Research
It’s also possible to use the domain authority checker for competitive research. You can enter the domains of your competitors to see how their domain authorities stack up to yours – and analyze their link profile so you can mimic or improve upon it.

Other Important Metrics in Our Domain Authority Checker
In our domain authority checker, you can also review the following metrics:
Page Authority (PA)
As you might imagine, page authority is very similar to domain authority. The only difference is that it’s relevant at the page level, rather than at the domain level. If you build lots of links to a specific page of your website, it will probably have a higher page authority than your other pages. Neglected pages are likely to have a lower page authority.
External Links
Our tool will also tell you the number of external links pointing to your domain. Even if you track links on your own, this will help highlight any links you’ve earned without noticing or tracking them.
Referring Domains
You can also figure out the number of referring domains pointing to your website. The bigger this number is, the better.
Trust Flow / Citation Flow
Majestic introduced the metrics Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF). Trust Flow is a measure of trustworthiness, while Citation Flow is only a measure of link volume. The ideal ratio of TF:CF is 1:2. Having a high volume of links, without trust, isn’t necessarily going to benefit you.
FAQs About Our Domain Authority Checker
Yes, you can use our domain authority checker for free. We want everyone to have open access to this data.
The higher your domain authority is, the better. Once you reach a DA of 40, your site can be considered average. Once you have a DA of 60, your site can be considered very good. The higher you go, the more value you’ll see. You should always aim for high domain authority.
The modern world thrives on data, so we aim to provide as many relevant metrics as possible to the search optimizers seeking it. Not every data point is going to be relevant for every researcher, but it’s better to have more data than less data.
Other third-party tools like Ahrefs measure similarly with slightly different logarithmic calculations and nomenclature (e.g. Domain Rating or DR).
If you have a surprisingly low DA, it could be because you have a lack of links, a lack of links from high-authority sources, or a technical problem with your website. The best solution is to focus on improving your SEO strategy.
