URL Rating

URL Rating is Ahrefs' 0 to 100 score for a single page rather than a whole domain. It measures the link strength of one URL. Domain Rating is the site-wide one.

The distinction matters because they diverge in both directions. A weak page on a strong domain has a high Domain Rating and a low URL Rating. An old article that collected links for a decade can carry a URL Rating well above the domain around it.

What Domduck records

Nothing per page. The free Ahrefs endpoint publishes Domain Rating for a domain, one number, and nothing at page level, so there is no URL Rating series to keep.

Domduck is a domain tracker in the literal sense: every reading is keyed to a domain, and the whole store is built that way. Page-level metrics would be a different product with a different data source and a paid subscription behind it.

Why it matters

If you are judging a link offer, URL Rating is the number that describes the page your link would sit on, and Domain Rating describes the neighborhood. A site-wide score tells you nothing about the page nobody links to.

If you are tracking your own progress over time, the domain-level number is the one that moves slowly enough to be worth a chart.
