Instant Domain Rating

What it does

A lightweight Chrome extension that shows the Domain Rating of the website you are viewing in your browser.

Instant Domain Rating uses Ahrefs data through your own Ahrefs API key, so you can quickly check domain strength without leaving the page you are already researching.


Who it's for

  • SEOs checking prospects, competitors and publishers
  • Link builders reviewing sites during outreach
  • Content teams assessing domains while researching opportunities
  • Anyone who wants quick Domain Rating context while browsing

Why it exists

Domain Rating checks often interrupt research.

Most people:

  • copy a domain from the browser
  • open a separate SEO tool
  • paste the domain into a lookup form
  • switch back to the original site

This tool removes that friction by making Domain Rating visible directly in the browser workflow.


How it works

  • Install the Chrome extension
  • Add your own Ahrefs API key in the extension settings
  • Browse to the website you want to check
  • Open the extension while on the page
  • The extension requests the current domain’s rating from Ahrefs
  • The Domain Rating is shown immediately in the browser

Instant Domain Rating does not provide Ahrefs access itself. You need to bring your own Ahrefs API key for the extension to work.


Data source

Domain Rating data is provided by Ahrefs.

We do not calculate, verify, edit or control the Ahrefs Domain Rating score returned by the API. If a score is missing, delayed, unavailable or different from what you expect, that result comes from the Ahrefs data and API response available to your key at the time of the request.


Getting an API Key

  1. Create a free account at ahrefs.com
  2. Go to account settings => https://app.ahrefs.com/account/my-account
  3. Select ‘API keys’ under workspace on the left hand side
  4. Click on ‘Generate API key for public endpoints’
  5. Paste the API Key into the extension settings
