Open PageRank Checker

A free, open alternative to Domain Authority — a 0-10 score built from real link-graph data.

What This Tool Does

"Domain Authority" itself is a Moz metric you'd normally need a paid account to check. Open PageRank is a free, independent alternative — a 0-10 score built from an open link graph, roughly answering the same question: how much link-based authority does this domain carry?

This tool looks up a domain's current Open PageRank score, its approximate global rank, and how many distinct domains link to it.

Why It Matters

  • Link authority is still one of the clearest predictors of how competitive a domain is in a given space — a fast sanity check before investing in content or outreach aimed at outranking it.
  • It's a genuinely free number, unlike Domain Authority or Ahrefs' DR, so it's usable for quick competitive checks without a subscription.
  • Tracking your own domain's score over time is a simple, free proxy for whether your link-building and E-E-A-T work is actually compounding.

How to Use It

  1. Enter a bare domain (e.g. example.com — no https:// needed).
  2. Click Check Rank.
  3. Read the score (0-10 scale — higher means stronger link-based authority), the approximate global rank, and the referring-domains count.
  4. Compare it against your own domain and against the specific competitors you're trying to outrank.
