How is domain age calculated?

From the WHOIS/RDAP creation date to today. It reflects when the domain was first registered — not when the current owner acquired it.

Does domain age affect SEO?

It is a weak, indirect signal. A long, continuous registration history can correlate with trust, but content and links matter far more than age alone.

Why is the creation date missing for some domains?

A few registries do not expose a creation date over WHOIS/RDAP, so age cannot be computed for those domains.
