Why Google PageRank Is No Longer Available
Google’s famous PageRank algorithm once powered the backbone of search result rankings—and public PageRank scores were available via the Toolbar until 2013. However, Google officially deprecated PageRank in 2016 and removed all publicly accessible PageRank data. This means any “Google PageRank Checker” you find online can no longer deliver real PageRank values.
The Impact of PageRank’s Deprecation
- No Real-Time Updates: Public PageRank scores haven’t been updated in years, so any numbers you see are stale and unreliable.
- Misleading Metrics: Third-party tools claiming to show “current PageRank” are usually showing their own proprietary scores, not Google’s original metric.
- SEO Strategy Shift: Modern SEO relies on a broader set of factors—like content relevance, mobile usability, and user engagement—rather than a single link-based score.
Introducing the SEOSMagic Trust Rate Checker
At SEOSMagic, we’ve built a modern alternative: our Trust Rate Checker. This domain trust checker uses a combination of:
- Link Quality Analysis (inbound and outbound link profiles)
- Domain Authority Signals (age, SSL status, WHOIS validity)
- User Engagement Metrics (traffic estimates, bounce rate proxies)
- On-Page SEO Factors (structured data, mobile friendliness)
Instead of an outdated PageRank score, the Trust Rate Checker gives you a comprehensive trust score from 0–100 that correlates with real-world SEO performance. It’s fast, accurate, and updated daily—so you can make informed decisions about link building, competitor research, and site audits.
