Auditing Old Domains with Historical Alexa Data

With Alexa Rank officially retired, I've been using historical data from the SerpSpur Alexa Rank Checker to audit old domains. Here's a quick Node.js snippet to fetch that data:

javascript
const axios = require('axios');

async function getHistoricalAlexa(domain) {
const res = await axios.get(https://serpspur.com/tool/alexa-rank-checker/?domain=${domain});
if (res.data.historicalRank) {
console.log(Historical Alexa Rank for ${domain}: ${res.data.historicalRank});
} else {
console.log('No historical data found.');
}
}

getHistoricalAlexa('example.com');

It's a solid way to gauge a domain's past popularity before investing. Plus, the Trust Rate upgrade gives you live health auditsβ€”nice for due diligence.
