# Authority metrics

> DA, PA, and SS come from Moz. DR is an Ahrefs-style Domain Rating in the UI, shown with logos.

Ples shows authority and spam metrics on each link and on [domain analytics](/article/domain-analytics). Logos in the UI mark the source.

## Metrics

| Metric | In the UI        | Source                                          |
| ------ | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **DA** | Domain Authority | Moz                                             |
| **PA** | Page Authority   | Moz                                             |
| **SS** | Spam score       | Moz                                             |
| **DR** | Domain Rating    | Ahrefs-style metric, shown with the Ahrefs logo |

These values feed [LQS](/article/what-is-lqs). Without DA or DR, LQS stays empty.

## How to view them

<Steps>
  <Step title="On a link">
    Open `/links`. DR, DA, and SS are columns. Open [link details](/article/link-details) for DA, PA, DR, and spam score together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="On a domain">
    Filter Links to one domain and click **Domain Analytics** (`/domain-analytics?id=`). You get current DR, DA, and PA plus 12-month charts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Domain analytics also shows spam score and estimated organic traffic on the current-status row.
