Domain Age Checker

Check the age, registration date, and expiration of any domain. Powered by RDAP WHOIS data.

What is Domain Age Checker?

Domain age — how long ago a domain was first registered — is one of many signals Google uses to assess trust. Older domains tend to rank better because they've had more time to accumulate backlinks and prove they're not throwaway spam properties. This tool queries RDAP (modern JSON-based WHOIS) to get the original registration date, expiry, and registrar.

Frequently asked questions

Does domain age matter for SEO?
Slightly. It's correlated with rankings but not causative — what actually matters is the backlinks and content that accumulated over time.
What is RDAP?
Registration Data Access Protocol — the modern, JSON-based successor to WHOIS. Most TLDs now publish via RDAP.
