# Domain Age Checker

See when a domain was registered and how old it is.

## Check a domain's age

Enter a domain name to look up its public registry dates.

Checking the domain registry...

Domain age is the time since a domain was first registered. This checker reads the date from RDAP, the public successor to WHOIS. Some registries do not publish RDAP data or a registration date. Age alone does not make a site rank in Google.

## How it works

1. **Enter a domain.** Type a domain such as example.com into the checker.
2. **Check the registry.** We look up its public registration record through RDAP.
3. **Read the dates.** See its age, registration date, registrar, and expiry date when published.

Age is not authority. [Check the domain's Ahrefs DR](https://smollaunch.com/tools/domain-rating-checker).

## Domain age FAQ

### What is domain age?

Domain age is the time since a domain was first registered. We calculate it from the registration date in the domain registry's public RDAP record.

### Does domain age affect SEO?

Google has said domain age alone is not a ranking factor. An older domain does not automatically rank better; its content and reputation matter more.

### Why does a domain show no data?

Some country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) do not publish a public RDAP service. A registry may also omit the registration date from its record.

### Is the domain age checker free?

Yes. You can run up to 30 checks per hour without an account.

### How accurate is the domain age?

The dates come from the registry's RDAP data as published. If a registry omits or changes a date, we can only show what it provides.
