What we do with your URLs
Every line you paste is cleaned before it is checked:
| You paste | We check |
|---|---|
| https://www.example.com/blog/post-1 | example.com |
| http://Example.com:8080/?ref=abc | example.com |
| www.shop.example.co.uk/products | shop.example.co.uk |
| "example.org", | example.org |
If the same domain appears more than once, it is only checked, and charged, once.
Mixed lists are fine
Copying from a spreadsheet, a PDF, an email or a web page? Separators like new lines, commas, semicolons, tabs and spaces are all understood. Lines that do not contain a valid domain are skipped and shown as skipped, so nothing is lost silently.
URL Rating vs Domain Rating
This tool returns Domain Rating, which is a site-wide score. If you paste 10 URLs from the same website, you get the DR of that website once. To judge individual pages, you would need URL Rating (UR), which is a different Ahrefs metric.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to remove https and www?
No. They are removed automatically.
What happens with invalid lines?
They are skipped and do not cost a credit.
Does it check the exact page I pasted?
No. It checks the Domain Rating of the site the page belongs to.
