Some methods for batch querying the PR of the entire site

Although the PR (PageRank) of a domain is determined based on the root path, if you want to fully satisfy your vanity, you shouldn't only focus on the homepage's PR. There are also many subpages to consider. It’s quite normal for some pages to have a higher PR than the homepage.

Below are several methods for bulk querying the PR of all pages on a website: two online tools and one client-side tool. The last one is highly recommended.

### 1. Chinese Webmaster Home - Full-site PageRank Query

This has been around for a long time. Among so many "webmaster tools" in China, this was once the only place that provided the "full-site query" function. The crawling and query results were relatively accurate, offering three modes: "internal links, external links, and all links."

However, as of today, it doesn’t work well anymore. The page crawling is incomplete, the query speed is extremely slow, and there's always the same result: "Data loading, please wait... (Query speed may be slower due to high traffic)." I'm just mentioning it here to remember the convenience it once brought me.

### 2. 5EO Full-site PR Detection System v1.1

Compared to the above, this is a newer tool. Among similar tools that have emerged, 5EO is a pretty good representative, so I recommend it.

The query results are accurate, and the speed is relatively fast (if your site has fewer pages). It includes external links and has no misleading ads. If you don't want to install any software, you can use this tool anytime when you're bored and want to check.

### 3. PaRaMeter

Here comes the star player! This is a small software application that can be used to bulk-query the PR of all pages on a website. It allows saving records, importing queries, exporting results as CSV files, and most importantly — it's fast.

1. Select **Tools – Extract URLs** to detect all pages of the target website. The **Depth** on the right refers to the detection depth:

- 1 means all pages within the site,

- 2 includes external links,

- 3 hasn’t been tested yet. If you set it to 10, the system might crash.
