Launch update
I launched my portfolio website, hiretimsf.com, on Product Hunt and Peerlist.
HireTim on Product Hunt, 18 days after launch.
Peerlist got 24 upvotes, 2 comments, and 49 views.

After 18 days
After 18 days, my Domain Rating is still 18.
Ahrefs still shows Domain Rating 18.
Product Hunt and Peerlist also are not listed yet as external links in Google Search Console.
It seems like this takes time. Google Search Console and SEO tools do not show every new link immediately.
Performance work
While waiting, I focused on what I can control. I optimized the site for mobile, desktop, and SEO. On desktop, PageSpeed Insights shows 100 for Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO.

Takeaway
Launching on Product Hunt and Peerlist helped with visibility, but it did not change my Domain Rating right away. SEO takes time, so I will keep improving the site and monitoring the results.
