Page Authority Checker: Free Bulk PA Scores

A page authority checker shows the Page Authority score, from 1 to 100, for any URL you enter. Paste up to 20 URLs, one per line, and this free tool returns a color-coded score for each one. SEOs, link builders and content editors can use it to compare pages and export the results.

What Is Page Authority in SEO?

Page Authority (PA) is a score from 1 to 100 that predicts how likely a single web page is to rank in search results. Moz developed the metric. It draws heavily on the links pointing to that exact URL, so it describes one page rather than a whole website.

The scale is logarithmic. Moving from 20 to 30 is much easier than moving from 70 to 80. A brand-new blog post with no links usually sits near the bottom, while a popular guide that many sites link to scores far higher.

Page Authority is a comparison metric, not a Google ranking factor, and Google does not use it in its rankings. Its value is relative: you use it to see how your page stacks up against the pages already ranking for the keyword you want.

How to Use the Page Authority Checker

You can check up to 20 pages in one run, and the whole process takes a few steps.

1. Click the box labeled Enter URLs (one per line, max 20).
2. Type or paste one URL per line, for example example.com/blog/seo-guide. You can leave off http:// or https://, because the tool removes them for you.
3. Check the counter under the box. It shows how many URLs you have entered, such as "5 URL(s) entered". Press Clear if you want to empty the box and start over.
4. Press the check button. The input box disappears and a results table appears with a progress percentage.
5. Wait while the URLs are checked one after another. Each row shows a spinner until its score arrives.
6. Read the Page Authority column. Every score appears as a badge such as "46 / 100".
7. Use the export button to download a CSV file with a URL column and a Page Authority column, or use the link under the table to run a new check.

Because the URLs are processed one at a time, a full list of 20 takes a couple of minutes. Keep the tab open until the progress bar finishes.

Worked Example: Comparing Three Pages

Say you manage a small site and want to know which pages carry the most ranking strength. You enter these three URLs, one per line:

• example.com/blog/seo-guide
• example.com/pricing
• example.org/resources/link-building

Suppose the table returns the following illustrative scores: 62 / 100 for the guide (green), 34 / 100 for the pricing page (yellow) and 18 / 100 for the resources page (red).

Here is what that tells you. The guide has earned real link strength, so it is your best source of internal links. The pricing page is moderate, and a few internal links from the guide could help it. The resources page is weak, so it needs either outside links or a decision about whether it deserves more effort. Export the CSV and rerun the same list next month to see whether your work moved the numbers.

How Do You Read the Page Authority Results?

Each score is shown out of 100 and colored in one of three bands, which gives you a quick read on a long list. The bands below are the tool's visual shortcuts, not official Moz grades.

Do not chase a magic number. A score of 35 can be excellent if the pages ranking for your keyword score 25 to 40, and poor if they all score 60 or more. Check the pages that already rank for your target term, then set your goal from there.

What does a failed result mean?

If a URL shows a red failure badge instead of a score, the tool could not return a Page Authority value for it. The CSV export lists that URL as N/A. Common causes are a typo, a page that does not exist, or a page too new to have any link data. Open the URL in your browser to confirm it loads, fix any spelling, and try again later.

How can you raise a low score?

• Earn links that point to that exact page, not only to your homepage.
• Add internal links from your stronger pages using descriptive anchor text.
• Merge thin, overlapping pages into one stronger page and redirect the old URLs.
• Fix redirect chains and broken URLs so link strength is not lost.

Page Authority vs Domain Authority: What Is the Difference?

Page Authority scores one URL, while Domain Authority scores an entire website. A homepage often has a PA close to its domain's DA, and deep pages usually score lower. A strong domain can still host weak pages, and a single viral article can outscore its own site.

Use both together. Run the same site through the Domain Authority Checker for the site-level view, then use this tool to find which individual pages carry the strength.

Who Should Use a Bulk Page Authority Checker?

Anyone who needs to judge many pages quickly gets value here. These are the most common situations.

• Link builders: Score the exact pages where you hope to get a link. A link from a page with a PA of 50 usually matters more than one from a page scoring 10, even on the same site.
• Content teams: Paste your 20 most important URLs, find the weakest, and plan internal links or updates.
• Competitor researchers: Enter the top-ranking URLs for a keyword to see how strong the competition is before you write.
• Site owners planning a migration: Record scores for key pages before a redesign, then compare afterward.
• Agencies: Export a CSV for client reports or audit spreadsheets.

If you are vetting a domain at the same time, pair the scores with the Domain Age Checker or the Bulk Domain Age Checker to see how long the site has existed. The Blacklist Checker tells you whether it has a spam reputation problem.

Best Practices and Troubleshooting Tips

A few habits make your results cleaner and easier to trust.

• Enter full page URLs. Typing only a domain such as example.com scores the homepage. To score a blog post, include its full path.
• Use one URL per line. Do not separate URLs with commas or spaces. Blank lines are skipped.
• Stay within 20. Extra lines past the twentieth URL are ignored, so split larger lists into batches.
• Compare like with like. Judge a product page against other product pages, and a blog post against other blog posts.
• Track over time. Export a CSV each month and keep the files. A rising trend tells you more than a single number.
• Keep the tab open. Closing it mid-run stops the remaining checks.

If a score has not changed after you earned new links, give it time. Link data takes a while to be discovered, so scores move gradually, not overnight. If you suspect the page itself has a technical issue, a DNS Lookup can confirm the domain resolves correctly.

What Are the Limits of Page Authority?

Page Authority is an estimate, and it has clear limits. It does not measure how well your content answers a question, how fast your page loads, or how much traffic it gets. A page with a modest PA can outrank a stronger one if it matches the search intent better.

New pages often score low even when they are excellent, because links take time to arrive. Scores can also shift between checks as link data updates. Treat each number as one signal and combine it with your own ranking and traffic data.

Paste your URLs into the box above and run the check to see which pages are strongest and which need attention. For more site research tools, browse the Domain Tools collection.
