How to Check DR in Bulk
- 1Paste the domains you want to check, one per line.
- 2Click “Check DR in Bulk” to start your batch.
- 3Review each domain’s DR score and query status.
What You Get for Each Domain
Results come back as one row per domain, in the order you pasted them.
DR4
Ahrefs’ new model, its default from December 1, 2026. Subdomains are scored on their own.
Updated
When each score was last fetched from Ahrefs.
Status
Done, waiting for Ahrefs, or no DR found. A domain with no result is not DR 0.
| Domain | DR3 | DR4 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| news-site.example | 78 | 74 | Done |
| blog.shop.example | 41 | 22 | Done |
| new-startup.example | — | — | Waiting |

Review Your Domain List in One Place
Screen outreach prospects
Compare the DR scores of websites you are considering for outreach. Check topical relevance and editorial quality as well: DR alone does not determine whether a link is valuable.
Compare competitors
Review multiple competitors’ backlink profile strength alongside your own website.
Review referring domains
Paste a list of websites linking to your site to compare their DR scores. This tool checks the domains you provide; it does not discover backlinks.
Paste Your List in Any Common Format
- One domain per line, or separated by commas, semicolons or spaces.
- Full URLs work too: https://www.example.com/page is checked as example.com.
- Upload a .txt or .csv file: the first column of each row is read, and a header row is skipped.
- Duplicates are checked once.
- Lines that are not domains are skipped and shown to you before you start.
How Long a Bulk Check Takes
- Domains checked in the last 24 hours are answered at once.
- The rest are fetched from Ahrefs in the background, at a steady pace within its rate limits. A few hundred new domains usually take under an hour; longer lists take longer.
- You can leave the page: we email you when the whole list is done.
- Results stay in your account for 30 days.
Bulk Check Limits by Plan

|---|---|---|
| Guest | — | 3 |
| Starter | — | 10 |
| Basic | 100 | 100 |
| Pro | 1,000 | 1,000 |
Each domain in a bulk check counts as one of the day’s checks, including domains answered from recent results. Compare plans
What Does Domain Rating Mean?
Domain Rating is Ahrefs’ metric for comparing the strength of a website’s backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. It is not a Google ranking factor and does not measure traffic, content quality, or topical relevance.
Ahrefs is making a new DR model (DR4) its default from December 1, 2026. Bulk results show both DR3 and DR4, so the lists you check now stay comparable after the switch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many domains can I check at once?
Up to 1,000 domains in one bulk check on the highest plan; each plan’s limit is in the table above. Longer lists can be split into several checks.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Bulk checks need a signed-in account on a paid plan, and each list counts toward that account’s daily checks. A single website can be checked without an account.
Can I download the results?
Yes. Every bulk check can be downloaded as a CSV file with each domain’s DR3, DR4, update times and status. Results stay available for 30 days.
How fresh are the scores?
A domain checked in the last 24 hours is answered from that result; any other domain is fetched from Ahrefs again. Each row shows when its score was last updated.
Is Domain Rating the same as Domain Authority?
No. DR is an Ahrefs metric, while Domain Authority (DA) is a Moz metric. This tool checks DR, not Moz DA.
What is a good DR score?
There is no universal target. Compare your website with relevant competitors rather than treating a particular score as a guarantee of rankings.
Why might a domain return no result?
A lookup may fail or the data source may not return a score. An unavailable result should not be interpreted as DR 0.
Can I check a single website instead?
Yes. Use our Domain Rating Checker for individual lookups. Open the Domain Rating Checker
