They tend to have stronger authority than the typical website: the median .edu site has an Ahrefs Domain Rating of 69, higher than the 28 median across all sites Site Stats Database tracks.

Traffic estimates, organic keywords, and authority come from DataForSEO; Domain Rating comes from Ahrefs' public endpoint; and the topic, market, and tech detections come from Site Stats Database's own crawler, which inspects each site's HTML, headers, DNS, and TLS certificate.

At least monthly. Traffic and rankings refresh every month, and detections refresh as sites are re-crawled, so this page always reflects the current 4,420 .edu websites.
