You can still check a website PageRank today, just not Google's own number. Google removed the public score in 2016. This hub uses Open PageRank, a free score from 0 to 10 that counts links between websites in public web data, the same idea Google started with.

Type a domain below to see its score, or browse the top lists to see which sites lead the web by links.

Top websites by PageRank

Each list is sorted by score and shows how many other websites link to each domain. Press Compare on any row to put that site next to your own in the checker.

What is a normal PageRank score?

Most websites sit at the bottom of the scale. The score grows on a curve, so going from 3 to 4 takes far more links than going from 1 to 2. The bars below show how many of the top 10 million domains have each whole score.

Share of the top 10,000,000 domains per whole score, data file October 2026. Domains outside this list score lower still.

In practice, a small blog with a few dozen linking sites lands around 2 or 3. A score of 4 already puts a site in the top few percent of this list, and 7 or more is mostly big brands, universities and government sites.

When you check a domain, the result comes with a badge you can copy into your footer or About page. The badge updates itself when the data changes, and it links to your score so visitors can check their own site.

Open PageRank is not Google's PageRank

Google still uses links inside its ranking systems, and it lists PageRank among them. It just does not show the number to anyone. Open PageRank is a separate score, built from Common Crawl link data, and it only estimates the same idea.

My first website reached PageRank 5 on the old Google toolbar, back when directory links moved that green bar. Today I use a score like this one to compare sites, not as a goal on its own. Real visitors and good links still matter more than any number.

Use the free checker to see your website PageRank, then use the lists to find out what kind of sites score higher than yours.

Frequently asked questions

Does Google still show PageRank?

No. Google stopped updating the toolbar score in 2013 and removed it in 2016. Google still uses links when it ranks pages, but it keeps the number private.

Where does this PageRank score come from?

From Open PageRank, which scores about 10 million domains from Common Crawl link data. It runs from 0 to 10 with two decimals, like a modern version of the old toolbar bar.

How often do the scores change?

Open PageRank updates its data about once a month. The checker keeps each score for 30 days, and the top lists change when a new data file comes out.
