Built a free Domain Rating checker after getting tired of daily search limits

I've been working in SEO for a few years, and one task kept repeating itself.

During link building and prospecting, I constantly needed to check a site's domain rating before deciding whether it was worth reaching out.

The task itself wasn't difficult. The frustrating part was hitting daily search limits and jumping between different tools.

The workflow looked something like this:

  • Open an SEO tool
  • Sign up or log in
  • Search for the domain
  • Hit the daily limit
  • Open another tool
  • Repeat the same process again and again

After doing this almost every day, I thought, why not build something that removes all those extra steps?

So I built dr-checker.com

The idea was simple.

  • Free to use
  • No signup
  • No account required
  • No usage limits
  • Just enter a domain and get the DR instantly

I'm not trying to replace Ahrefs or other SEO platforms. Those tools do much more than this.

I just wanted to solve one small but repetitive problem that most link builders and SEOs run into.

This is only the first version. My goal is to slowly build a collection of simple, free domain and link building tools that save time during everyday SEO work.

I'd really appreciate feedback from other SEOs.

  • Would this fit into your workflow?
  • What information would you want besides DR?
  • What domain or link building task do you think deserves a simple free tool?

I'm building this based on real feedback, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Roast my free SEO tool before I waste more time building it

I do SEO and spend a lot of time on link building.

One thing kept annoying me. I was opening different SEO tools just to check a website's Domain Rating before deciding whether it was worth looking into.

It's a tiny problem.

But when you're checking hundreds of domains, those extra clicks get old fast.

So I built https://dr-checker.com

Current version:

  • Free forever
  • No signup
  • No account
  • No limits
  • Paste a domain and get the DR instantly

The goal isn't to compete with Ahrefs or Semrush. I still use those every day.

The goal is to make one repetitive task take one click instead of several.

I'm also planning to turn it into a collection of free domain and link building tools over time.

Now for the reason I'm posting here.

Don't hold back.

Tell me:

  • Why would you never use this?
  • What's missing?
  • What's confusing?
  • Does it solve a problem that isn't actually a problem?
  • If you landed on the homepage, what would make you leave?

I'd rather hear harsh feedback now than spend months building something nobody wants.
