Bulk DR Checker

The DR Checker by SEO Tools System is a free online tool that shows the Domain Rating (DR) of any website. Check a single domain or run a bulk DR check on up to 10 domains at once, and instantly see each DR score — a quick way to gauge the strength of a site's backlink profile, benchmark competitors, and evaluate potential link-building targets.

What is Domain Rating (DR)?

Domain Rating (DR) is a score, on a scale from 0 to 100, that measures the strength of a website's backlink profile relative to other sites. It was popularized by Ahrefs and reflects the quantity and quality of unique domains linking to a site — links from strong, high-DR sites count for more than links from weak ones. The scale is logarithmic, so moving from 70 to 80 is far harder than moving from 20 to 30. DR is a third-party metric, not a signal Google uses directly, but it is a widely used shorthand for comparing the relative authority of websites.

How Does the DR Checker Work?

You enter a website's domain, and the tool looks up and reports its Domain Rating, often alongside related backlink metrics. You can check your own site or any competitor to compare relative link strength at a glance — no crawling or manual analysis required.

Bulk DR Checker: Check Multiple Domains at Once

Instead of checking sites one at a time, the bulk DR checker lets you enter up to 10 domains and pull every Domain Rating in a single run. This is ideal when you're vetting a batch of guest-post or link-building prospects, auditing a set of competitors, or screening domains before an outreach campaign. Enter your domains, run the bulk check, and review the DR scores side by side so you can prioritize the strongest opportunities quickly. For a longer list, just run it in batches of 10.

What is a Good DR Score?

Because DR is relative and logarithmic, "good" depends entirely on your niche and the sites you compete with. As a rough guide, new sites often sit under 20, 20–40 is moderate, 40–60 is strong, and 60+ is high authority. Rather than chasing a universal number, compare your DR against the domains that actually rank for your target keywords — that gap is what tells you how much link-building work lies ahead.

DR vs. Domain Authority (DA)

DR and DA measure a similar idea — backlink-based authority — but come from different providers and are calculated differently, so the numbers are not interchangeable. Use whichever you and your team standardize on, and always compare like-for-like (DR to DR, never DR to DA). If you prefer the Moz-style metric, use our Domain Authority Checker instead.

DR Checker FAQs

Is Domain Rating used by Google?

No. DR is a third-party metric created to estimate the relative strength of a site's backlink profile. Google does not use it directly, but it is a popular way to compare websites.

How can I increase my Domain Rating?

Earn quality backlinks from relevant, authoritative websites, publish content worth linking to, and avoid low-quality or spammy links. DR tends to rise as your backlink profile grows in both quantity and quality over time.

What is the difference between DR and DA?

Both estimate backlink-based authority, but they come from different providers and use different formulas, so their scores are not directly comparable. Always compare DR to DR. For the Moz-style score, use our Domain Authority Checker.

Why is it so hard to raise a high DR?

The DR scale is logarithmic, so each point gets harder to gain as the score climbs. Going from 20 to 30 takes far fewer quality links than going from 70 to 80.

Can I check the DR of multiple domains at once?

Yes. The bulk DR checker lets you check up to 10 domains in a single run and compare the scores side by side — much faster than checking each site individually. If you have a longer list, run it in batches of 10.

Is the DR Checker free?

Yes. It is free to use with no account required.
