Website Authority Checker

Available

Check the link-based authority of one or more websites: the Open PageRank score (0–10), global rank and referring domains reported by the provider, with source attribution and the data release date.

Check domains

One per line (or separated by commas), up to 10. Protocols, paths, “www.” and ports are removed; internationalized names are supported.

Try:

Website authority

Enter one or more domains to see their Open PageRank score and rank.

How it works

NetTools asks the Open PageRank API for each domain. Open PageRank computes a PageRank-style score from the link graph published by Common Crawl: a domain linked from many well-linked domains scores higher. The score is on a 0–10 scale, and the rank is the domain’s global position. NetTools shows the provider’s values unchanged, with the provider’s data release date.

What the score means

  • Open PageRank score (0–10): a PageRank-style measure of link popularity computed by Open PageRank from the Common Crawl link graph. Higher means more, and stronger, linking domains.
  • Rank: the domain’s global position by that score (1 = highest), when the provider reports one.
  • Referring domains: the provider’s own authority-weighted count of linking domains — not a complete backlink count.
  • Not ranked means the provider reported the domain as not found. A score of 0 means it was found with very little link authority.

It is not Google PageRank (no longer published), Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating, and it is only one signal among many that search engines use.

Safeguards & responsible use

  • The API key stays on the NetTools server; your browser never contacts the provider directly.
  • Up to 10 domains per check; per-client rate limits and a daily server-wide cap protect the shared allowance.
  • Checked domains are sent to the data provider (Open PageRank). NetTools keeps results only in a short-lived server cache.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Google PageRank?

No. Google stopped publishing PageRank in 2016. Open PageRank is an independent metric computed from Common Crawl link data. It is also not Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating; each vendor uses its own data and scale.

Why is my site “not ranked”?

The provider did not find the domain in its link data. That is normal for new, small or rarely linked sites and is not a penalty. A score of 0 is different: the domain is known, but has very little link authority.

How often does the score change?

Scores change when the provider publishes a new data release (shown with each result), not daily. Results may also be served from a short-lived cache; the result shows whether it is live or cached.

Does a higher score mean better Google rankings?

Not directly. It estimates link popularity, which is only one of many ranking factors. Use it to compare sites, not to predict positions.
