: Why is the PageRank for my website listed as "unavailable" in this tool? I usually check my site up at SEO Site Checkup. Now, my site isn't top-notch, and I don't expect it to have a high

@Kristi941

It means that tool is unable to find PageRank for your homepage. That is literally all it means.


PageRank is per web page not per website. So all that tool claims to report is it can't find what the PR is for your homepage.
That tool is not Google so anything it claims to report cannot be assured as accurate. Google does not offer an API for determining a page's PageRank so however they are trying to determine your homepage's PageRank it is done through means that cannot be considered reliable. So your homepage may have PageRank assigned to it but that tool cannot find what it is.
PageRank is not often publicly updated anymore so your homepage may have PageRank but no tool can tell you what it is since Google hasn't made that information available. So you may have PageRank and Google may be using it to help rank your pages but you don't know how much it is and won't know until they do a public update again.
PageRank has little (and possibly no) SEO value anymore. It used to be important in Google's ranking algorithm but that was a long time ago. Their ranking algorithm has become much more sophisticated and simply relying on a numerical representation of link popularity just isn't necessary (or accurate). You've spent more time researching this then it is worth. Don't chase PageRank. It is obsolete and not useful for you to spend any time on.
