        Hello Gamajunova,

        It´s not that the domain lost its PA/DA. The thing here is that http://site.com and **https://**site.com are completely diferent URLs to Mozscape, so their metrics will be different, although could be the same. The same goes for the non-www and www version of the site.
        Take into consideration that until the next one or two mozscape updates there will be no changes in PA/DA.

        Best luck.
        GR.

          Hi Gaston and Gamajunova,

          It's true in your example that http://site.com and https://site.com are completely different URLs to Mozscape (and more importantly, search engines), but only their PA would be different - their DA will be the same.

          The PA 1 is normal if that exact URL (the https version) has never received any links in the past, but the DA drop is significant and I would suggest looking at another tool like Ahrefs to see if the domain has lost a lot of links recently.

          If you haven't lost any links, I would say the latest Moz index hasn't crawled many links pointing to your domain - so it's reporting a significantly decreased DA.

          If that's the case, don't worry too much about your DA. It will come back eventually and it won't have any impact on your organic performance.

          Cheers,

          David
