How to pronounce ahrefs (official way)

Life is full of huge, arduous questions. Are we alone in the universe? Why do movie characters never say “farewell” before disconnection? How do you pronounce Ahrefs?

I can answer one of these questions. (I’m sorry, the universe is above my salary assessment.)

/eɪʧ-rɛfs/

/eɪtʃ/ → “H” as in the name of the letters

/rɛfs/ → “Ref” as in “references”

“H-Ref” may be an official pronunciation, but we have heard hundreds of different shots on the name of our company, from the British “Ay-Aych-Ref” to Indian “Aah-Ref” to Klingon “Ah-Ref” (seriously). We think that They are also quite amazing.
