Domain History Checker – Backlink & Authority History by Month
Look up the history of any domain before you buy it or link to it: domain strength, backlinks and referring domains every month since 2019, new and lost links, spam score, and optionally Google traffic for the last 6 months. Expired domain checks, pay per domain.
Check the history of any domain before you buy it, link to it or redirect it: its strength, backlinks and linking domains for every month since 2019, the links it won and lost each month, its spam score, and optionally its Google traffic for the last 6 months.
- Expired and aged domains: see when the links were built, when they disappeared and whether the profile was spammed, before you pay for a domain.
- Peak and now in every row: the month with the most linking domains, the latest count and the drop in percent, so a dead domain shows at a glance.
- Competitors and link partners: see when a site grew its links and whether its link building is still going.
- Up to 500 domains per run, one row per domain and month, ready for a chart or a spreadsheet.
Built for SEOs buying expired domains, domain investors, agencies vetting link partners and site migrations.

Good to know
- Live lookups need a paid Apify plan (any plan); the pre-filled example works on the free plan.
- Backlink history comes from DataForSEO's link index and starts in January 2019. A domain with no links in that time returns one row that says so (still charged: the data provider bills every lookup).
- Traffic is an estimate from Google rankings (DataForSEO Labs), not the site's own analytics.
- For who owned a domain and when it was registered, use the WHOIS tool below.
