About DA PA Checker
ToolsPivot's DA PA Checker pulls Moz Domain Authority and Page Authority scores for up to 20 websites or pages at once, with no sign-up required. Moz's own free checker gives you 3 single-domain reports a day, and most other free checkers stop at 5 addresses per check. ToolsPivot puts both scores side by side in one table you can export as CSV.
How to check domain authority for 20 sites at once
The tool runs on a straightforward five-step process. You paste URLs, solve a quick captcha, and get back a DA and a PA score for each address.
Paste your URLs: Enter up to 20 websites or page addresses in the input box, one per line. You can mix root domains (example.com) with specific page URLs. Anything after the 20th line is left out.
Complete the captcha: Verify you're not a bot. This keeps the tool fast and free for everyone.
Run the check: Press the button under the box. ToolsPivot asks Moz for each address in turn, so the table fills in line by line.
Review your results: Each row shows the address you entered with its DA score (1-100) and PA score (1-100). If Moz can't score an address, the row says why, for example when Moz has no data for it yet.
Export your data: Hit "Export CSV" to download both scores into a spreadsheet for deeper analysis or client reporting.
Two scores returned for each domain
Every lookup returns two Moz scores. Here's what each one tells you and why it matters for your SEO decisions.
DA Score (1-100): The Moz Domain Authority score predicts how likely a domain is to rank in search results. Moz builds it with a machine-learning model that relies most on linking root domains and the quality of those links, plus dozens of other factors. A DA of 40 in a niche where competitors average 30 means you're in a strong position. The scale is logarithmic, so jumping from 30 to 40 takes far less effort than going from 70 to 80.
Page Authority (PA): While DA covers the entire domain, PA scores the exact page you enter. A blog post on a DA 60 site might carry a PA of 35 if it has few inbound links. Enter the full page address, not just the domain, when you want page-level insight.
Backlinks and spam score: This tool doesn't report them. It returns DA and PA only. A score tells you how strong a link profile looks, not which links built it, so run competitors through ToolsPivot's backlink checker for a deeper dive into individual link profiles.
Bulk Results Table: All 20 addresses show up side by side. You can compare DA and PA across competitors in a single view. Moz itself only offers bulk DA checks in Moz Pro or its API.
Is my DA score good?
A raw DA number means nothing without context. DA 45 could be excellent in one industry and mediocre in another. The score only becomes useful when you compare it against the sites you're actually competing with in search results.
Here's a general framework for interpreting scores:
| DA Range | What It Indicates | Typical Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | Brand new or very low-authority sites | Fresh domains, personal blogs with no link building |
| 11-20 | Early-stage sites building initial backlinks | New business websites, local shops |
| 21-40 | Established sites with a decent link profile | Growing blogs, regional businesses, niche e-commerce |
| 41-60 | Strong domains with consistent link equity | Industry publications, mid-size SaaS companies |
| 61-80 | High-authority sites with extensive backlink profiles | Major media outlets, large brands |
| 81-100 | Top-tier domains (very few sites reach this range) | Google.com, Wikipedia, Facebook, BBC |
One thing worth knowing: DA fluctuates. Moz updates its index regularly, and your score can move a little even when nothing changed on your site, because DA is relative to other sites and Moz updates its model. Don't panic over small dips. Focus on the 3-month trend instead.
Also, keep in mind that DA is not a Google ranking factor. Google has said this directly. It's a third-party prediction metric built by Moz. Useful for comparisons and benchmarking, but not something Google's algorithm uses when deciding where to rank your pages. Track your actual keyword rankings alongside DA to get the real picture.
Checking 20 domains free in one session
Bulk analysis at no cost: Check 20 domains per session. SmallSEOTools and DAPAChecker.org take 5 URLs per check on their free tiers, and Moz's free checker gives you 3 single-domain reports a day. If you're comparing a list of guest post targets or competitor sites, that difference saves a lot of time.
No account needed: You don't register, log in, or hand over an email address. Paste your URLs, solve the captcha, get your data. Moz's own Link Explorer needs a free Moz account even for basic lookups.
Both scores in one place: DA and PA show up together, one row per address. You don't need a separate page authority check or a second tool.
CSV export for reporting: Download your results and drop them straight into Google Sheets, Excel, or a client report. Useful for SEO agencies running monthly authority audits or freelancers building site-wide SEO reports.
Clear messages instead of blank zeros: When Moz can't score an address, the row tells you why: no data yet, an invalid address, or Moz being busy or down. A silent 0 would look like a real score and send you the wrong way.
Works on any device: The full interface runs on desktops, tablets, and phones. No features get stripped on mobile.
Pairs with related SEO tools: After checking DA and PA, check the domain age to see how long the site has been live.
How SEOs, marketers and investors use DA scores
Different people use DA scores for completely different reasons. Here's how four common user types put the tool to work.
Monthly link audits for client sites
An agency managing 15 client accounts needs to review backlink profiles monthly. Paste all 15 client domains into ToolsPivot, export the CSV, and compare month-over-month DA movement in a spreadsheet. If a client's DA drops 5+ points between checks, investigate their link profile for lost or disavowed backlinks.
Qualifying guest post targets
Before pitching a guest article, check the host site's DA and the PA of the section your post would sit in. A site with DA 35 that publishes real content in your niche is a solid placement. A site with DA 55 that sells links to anyone? Skip it. A high score doesn't mean Google trusts the links that site gives out. Cross-reference potential hosts against their on-page SEO setup to verify they're running a legitimate operation.
Checking a domain before you buy it
Expired domain auctions list DA claims, but sellers sometimes inflate numbers. Before bidding, run the domain through ToolsPivot to verify the actual current DA. Also check the WHOIS record and domain age to confirm the registration history matches the claimed authority.
Tracking a new site against competitors
You launched your site six months ago and want to know if your SEO efforts are working. Check your DA alongside two or three direct competitors. If they sit at DA 25-30 and you're at DA 15, you have a clear gap to close. If you've climbed from DA 8 to DA 18 in six months, your backlink building is paying off.
DA, DR or Authority Score: which should you trust?
Three major SEO platforms each have their own "authority" metric. They measure similar things but use different data and algorithms, which is why the same domain can show different scores across tools.
| Metric | Created By | Based On | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain Authority (DA) | Moz | Linking root domains and link quality, scored by a machine-learning model (dozens of factors) | 1-100 (logarithmic) |
| Domain Rating (DR) | Ahrefs | Unique referring domains and how those domains distribute their outbound links | 0-100 (logarithmic) |
| Authority Score (AS) | Semrush | Backlink profile, organic traffic data, and spam signal detection | 1-100 |
No single metric is "right." Moz DA has been around the longest and remains the most widely referenced in the SEO community. The same site often gets different numbers from Moz and Ahrefs, so compare scores from one tool only. Semrush AS factors in organic traffic data, which makes it harder to inflate through link schemes.
The practical move? Pick one as your primary benchmark and stick with it for consistency. ToolsPivot pulls Moz DA and PA, and DA is the metric most SEO professionals, WordPress bloggers, and link building agencies already use as their baseline. If you also need to analyze your page speed or index status, ToolsPivot has dedicated tools for those too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, free with no registration required. You can check up to 20 addresses per run and export results as CSV. A daily allowance per visitor keeps the Moz data budget fair for everyone, and there are no premium tiers or features locked behind a paywall.
ToolsPivot pulls data directly from Moz, so the scores come straight from Moz's link index. The accuracy depends on how recently Moz updated its index for that particular domain. Scores typically refresh on a rolling basis.
No. Google has confirmed that DA is not part of its ranking algorithm. Domain Authority is a third-party metric created by Moz to predict ranking potential based on backlink signals. It's useful for comparisons, but it doesn't directly influence where Google places your pages in search results.
That depends entirely on your niche. A DA of 30 is strong if your competitors average 20. The same score is weak if competitors sit at 55. Always benchmark against the specific sites you compete with in search results rather than chasing an arbitrary number.
Moz periodically recalibrates its index. When they add new data or adjust their algorithm, scores can shift by a few points across the board. Competitors gaining links faster than you can also cause a relative drop. Small fluctuations are normal and don't indicate a problem with your site.
Yes. Enter any domain you want to analyze. ToolsPivot's checker works on any publicly accessible website, not just your own. Use the bulk input (up to 20 URLs) to compare your domain against multiple competitors in a single session.
Domain Authority measures the ranking strength of an entire website, including all its pages and subdomains. Page Authority scores a single specific URL based on its own backlink profile. A strong DA doesn't guarantee every page ranks well. Individual pages still need their own inbound links to build PA.
Once a month is enough for most websites. Moz updates its index on a rolling schedule, so checking daily won't show meaningful changes. Monthly tracking lets you spot trends over time without reacting to normal fluctuations. Pair DA checks with regular keyword research to connect authority growth to ranking improvements.
Yes, but read the two scores differently. Enter a subdomain like blog.example.com and the DA shown is Moz's score for the root domain, example.com. The PA is for the exact address you entered, so use PA when you want to compare a subdomain or its pages.
No. The DA PA Checker returns Domain Authority and Page Authority only. To see the links pointing at a site, and to judge whether they look natural, use the backlink checker.
Yes. ToolsPivot accepts up to 20 URLs per check. Enter all domains at once (one per line), and the results table shows DA and PA for each. Export the full comparison as CSV for offline analysis.
