Free Page Authority Checker
A page authority checker scores one specific URL from 1 to 100 on Moz's model, and this one runs free on any page you paste in.
Page Authority scores a single URL. Domain Authority scores the whole site. Same 1 to 100 logarithmic scale, same Moz model, different unit. Your homepage usually carries the highest PA on the site, because most external links point at it.
PA is the number to check when one page is stuck. Compare your page against the pages currently ranking in the top 10, not against their homepages. A post at PA 18 competing with posts at PA 40 has a link problem. A post at PA 38 competing with posts at PA 35 has a content or intent problem.
Two things raise a page's PA. External links pointing at that exact URL, and internal links from your strongest existing pages. The second one is free and most sites underuse it. Pick your three highest-PA pages and link down to the page you care about.
One check gives you today's PA and nothing else. When a page loses the links that carried it, PA slips quietly and traffic follows a few weeks later. RankPulse tracks page authority every day alongside DA, backlinks and spam score, and emails you the day a number changes. Nothing changes, no email.
Common questions
What is the difference between Page Authority and Domain Authority?
PA scores one URL, DA scores the whole domain. A DA 60 site can host a brand new post sitting at PA 1. Rankings for a specific query track PA more closely than DA.
Why is my homepage PA higher than my blog posts?
People link to homepages. Your homepage collects most of the site's external links, so it typically runs 10 to 20 points above your article pages.
How fast does Page Authority update?
It moves when Moz refreshes its link index, roughly every 3 to 5 weeks. A link you earned yesterday will not show up in today's score.
A one-off check tells you today's number. RankPulse checks every morning and emails you the day it moves.
