Domain Rating (DR)
Definition
Domain Rating (DR) is a proprietary metric developed by Ahrefs that measures the strength and quality of a website's backlink profile. It's calculated on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a stronger backlink profile. DR takes into account the quality and quantity of external links pointing to a website.
While Google Search Console doesn't provide a DR score (as it's a third-party metric), its Links report can give you valuable insights into your site's backlink profile, which is a key factor in determining Domain Rating.
