What do DR4, DR3 and the model difference mean?
DR4:
Ahrefs' newer model. It gives more weight to links from sites with organic search traffic and rates a subdomain on its own links.
DR3:
The previous model, shown in the Ahrefs app until 1 December 2026.
Model difference:
DR4 minus DR3 for the same domain. The models calculate differently, so this is not growth or a drop; the “since” lines compare each model with itself.
