Domain Rating Checker
Check any site’s Ahrefs Domain Rating instantly, then generate an embeddable, customizable badge for your own site.
Why embed the DR badge?
Domain Rating pulled directly from Ahrefs’ backlink index — the industry-standard metric for measuring a site’s authority.
Founders, investors, and press recognize a strong DR. Showing yours tells visitors you’re established, not brand new.
Paste the embed code once. The badge pulls a fresh DR automatically on every view — no maintenance, no code changes.
How the DR badge works
Enter your domain above. We look up your current DR via Ahrefs’ index in seconds.
Choose a style, color scheme, shape, and label. Watch the badge update live in the preview panel.
Copy one HTML snippet and paste it into your homepage, footer, or about page.
Frequently asked questions
Is checking my DR free?
Yes — checking any domain’s DR is completely free, no account needed.
Do I need to pay to embed the badge?
No — the badge is free to embed on any site. If your product has a LaunchNest listing, it links there and passes a dofollow backlink; if not, it just links to your own domain.
How often does the badge update?
The embedded badge is a live image, not a snapshot — every time someone visits your site, it fetches a fresh DR from Ahrefs (cached for up to a day at a time for speed).
Why does my DR here differ from the Ahrefs website checker?
Ahrefs recalculates its backlink index on a rolling basis, so scores from different tools can lag each other by a few days — this is expected and normal.
Can I use the badge on any website?
Yes — embed it anywhere: your homepage, footer, about page, or a dedicated press/trust page.
