If you want to check Google PageRank it is important to understand what PageRank means and how it relates to modern SEO. PageRank was created as a link-analysis system that helped Google understand the importance of web pages based on their connections to other pages. Google still describes PageRank as one of the link-analysis systems within its ranking systems.However, there is an important difference between Google’s internal PageRank system and the old public PageRank score. Google removed the visible Toolbar PageRank score in 2016, so website owners can no longer check an official 0–10 Google PageRank score like they could in the past.
