How the authority score is calculated
The score is the average of two parts, each from 0 to 100:
- Rank part:
100 × (1 − log10(rank) / log10(N))^0.6, where rank is the domain's harmonic centrality position in the Common Crawl web graph (how close it is to every other domain through links) and N is the number of ranked domains (133,241,980). - Link part:
100 × log10(1 + referring domains) / 7, so 10 million referring domains = 100.
For this domain: rank part 74.9 (web graph rank 1,282 of 133,241,980), link part 74.4 (160,241 referring domains), average 74.6, rounded to 75.
It is consistent across all 120 million domains in the data, so it is good for ranking and filtering lists. It is not Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating. Referring domains count other domains that link to this one, not individual backlinks; no list of linking pages is included.

- sitemaps.org has a domain authority score of 75 out of 100 (high), based on 160,241 referring domains and a web graph rank of 1,282 among 133 million domains. The score is our own open-data metric (0-100) and is not Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating.

- sitemaps.org is linked to from 160,241 other domains in the Common Crawl web graph (release cc-main-2026-jul-aug-sep). This counts referring domains, not individual backlinks, and Common Crawl does not see the whole web, so commercial tools that crawl more will show larger numbers.

- Is the sitemaps.org authority score the same as Moz DA or Ahrefs DR?
