Instant DA score, no crawl needed

Check any domain's Domain Authority score in seconds, no waiting for a site crawl just to compare link strength between sites.

Free DA checker, no signup

Check Domain Authority online without creating an account, unlike SEO suites that lock this metric behind a paid subscription.

Uses an established third-party authority metric, not a made-up score, so comparisons between sites stay consistent and credible.

Built for link-building decisions

Check a target site's DA before guest posting or link exchanges, so you don't waste effort on a link that barely moves your own authority.

What you need to know

What DA measures: Domain Authority (0–100) predicts ranking potential based on the quality and quantity of inbound links. A new site starts near 0; Wikipedia sits above 90.

DA 0–20: New site: Focus on earning your first backlinks from relevant, established sites. Guest posts and directory listings help here.

DA 20–50: Growing authority: You have traction. Each quality backlink from a higher-DA site moves your score meaningfully at this stage.

DA 50+: Competitive territory: You're in the same range as established publications. Content quality and link relevance matter more than volume now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Domain Authority?

Domain Authority (DA) is a score from 0–100 created by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search results, based on its backlink profile.

Is DA the same as Google PageRank?

No. DA is a third-party metric by Moz, not an official Google signal. Google uses its own internal link signals. DA is a useful proxy for comparing sites.

How do I increase my Domain Authority?

Earn backlinks from high-DA sites, publish content worth linking to, fix broken inbound links, and disavow toxic backlinks through Google Search Console.

How often does DA update?

Moz recrawls the web and updates DA scores approximately once per month.
