Domain Age Checker

The domain's age is calculated using the **Creation Date** (or Registration Date) found in the publicly available WHOIS record for that domain. This date marks the day the domain was first registered by an owner, not the date the website was launched or the last time it was renewed.

Domain age is generally considered a **minor factor** in SEO. While an older domain suggests stability and trustworthiness, its age alone won't make a poor website rank well. Google focuses much more heavily on quality content, authoritative backlinks, and good user experience. A new, high-quality site can easily outrank an old, stagnant one.

WHOIS is a public internet record that contains information about a domain, including its registration and expiration dates, the registrar, the nameservers, and, historically, the owner's contact information. Due to privacy regulations (like GDPR), personal contact details are often **redacted or hidden** (showing "Private" or "Protected"). Our tool uses this record to pull the official creation date.
