DA Checker Guide
DA Checker: Check the Domain Authority of Any Website
A simple guide to what Domain Authority means, how to read your score,
and how to improve it, with answers to the questions beginners ask most.
How to Use the DA Checker
It takes three simple steps and no signup.
- Enter your website. Type a domain like
example.com. You can also paste a full link, and the tool removes https://, www and the page path for you.
- Add more sites if you want. Put each domain on a new line to compare your site with competitors, up to 10 at a time.
- Press Check DA. Each site gets its own card with a coloured score ring and its other numbers. Use Copy or Download CSV to save the results.
What Is Domain Authority (DA)?
Domain Authority is a score from 1 to 100 created by Moz. It predicts
how likely a website is to rank well in search results, based mainly on
how many other trusted websites link to it. A higher score means a
stronger link profile.
The scale is not even. Going from 20 to 30 is much easier than going
from 70 to 80, so big, well-known websites sit at the top and new sites
start near the bottom.
What Is a Good DA Score?
There is no single "good" number, because it depends on your
competition. As a rough guide:
- 0 to 29, Low: normal for new websites and small blogs.
- 30 to 49, Average: a site that has built some links and history.
- 50 to 69, Good: a strong, established website.
- 70 to 89, Excellent: well-known brands and large publications.
- 90 and above, Superb: only a handful of the biggest sites on the web.
The most useful way to read your score is to compare it with the sites
you compete against, not with a fixed number.
What the Other Numbers Mean
- Page Authority (PA): the same 1 to 100 idea, but for one single page instead of the whole website.
- Spam Score: the share of similar sites that Google has penalised or banned. 0 to 30% is low, 31 to 60% is medium and above 60% is high.
- Linking domains: how many different websites link to this site. This matters more than the raw number of links.
- Backlinks: the total number of links pointing to the site from other websites.
Example Result
A small blog that has been online for about a year might look like this:
Domain: example-blog.com
Domain Authority: 24 (Low)
Page Authority: 27
Spam Score: 2% (Low)
Linking domains: 86
Backlinks: 412
This is only a sample to show the layout. Your own numbers will be
different.
How to Improve Your Domain Authority
- Earn links from trusted sites. Guest posts, partnerships, press mentions and useful resources that others want to link to all help.
- Publish content worth linking to. Guides, original data and tools attract links without you asking.
- Remove or disavow spammy links that point to your site, especially if your Spam Score is high.
- Fix broken pages and links so visitors and search engines reach working content.
- Be patient. DA changes slowly and usually moves over weeks and months, not days.
