Guide

How to do an Ahrefs DR check (and why it matters)

An Ahrefs DR check returns Domain Rating — Ahrefs' logarithmic 0–100 score for how strong a site's backlink profile is versus others in their index. A dofollow link from DR 70 usually moves rankings more than the same link from DR 10.

Before you spend hours on directory submissions or guest posts, run a DR check on the target site. Prioritise dofollow listings on higher-DR domains — that is the same logic behind ScrollLaunch's /directories list and the dofollow product-page backlink we give every live launch.

Founders also search “ahrefs dr check” when comparing their own brand to a competitor. Pair this single-domain lookup with Website Compare when you need two scores side by side.

This free checker calls Ahrefs' public Domain Rating API. Always credit results as Domain Rating by Ahrefs under their Domain Rating License.

Explore more on free ScrollLaunch tools, browse DR-ranked directories, or launch with a dofollow backlink.

Questions

DR Check FAQ

How do I do an Ahrefs DR check?

Paste any domain or URL above and click Check DR. This free tool queries Ahrefs' public Domain Rating API and returns the live DR (0–100) for that hostname — no Ahrefs account required.

What is Domain Rating (DR)?

Domain Rating is Ahrefs' 0–100 logarithmic score estimating the strength of a website's backlink profile compared to other sites in Ahrefs' database. Higher DR generally means stronger dofollow links from that domain.

Is this the same DR I see in Ahrefs?

Yes — this tool calls Ahrefs' free public Domain Rating API and returns the live DR for the hostname you enter. Always attribute results as Domain Rating by Ahrefs.

What if my Domain Rating is low?

Prioritise dofollow backlinks from higher-DR sites. Skip the busywork with our done-for-you directory submissions (from $99, up to 100+ directories), or browse the curated list yourself. Launching on ScrollLaunch also earns a lasting product-page backlink.

Why does DR matter for product launches?

When you earn a dofollow backlink from a higher-DR site, search engines typically treat that referral as a stronger ranking signal. That's why ScrollLaunch concentrates equity on your product page and ranks directories by DR.

Can I check any domain?

Most public domains work. Localhost, IP addresses, and invalid hostnames are rejected. If Ahrefs has never crawled a brand-new domain, the API may not return a score yet.

Can I compare two websites?

Yes — use SEO Compare for a full website comparison (on-page SEO + Ahrefs DR) across 2 domains.
