Page authority
Search engine optimization (SEO) gurus use PA to stand for page authority. PA measures a webpage's quality, reputation, and relevance in relation to other webpages about that topic. Ranking highly on this metric means a page is more likely to appear near the top of related Google (and other search engine) search results. (And ranking low means the page is less likely to appear.)
SEO company Moz developed the tools that calculate a webpage's PA, as well as a website's domain authority (DA). Webmasters and SEO experts use these tools to assess (and take action to increase) pages' and sites' likelihood of ranking highly in search results.
Example
TMW your webpage finally gets a high PA

PA is an acronym in fantasy football that stands for points against. The number represents the amount of points scored by opposing teams against a team during the season.
The stat commonly appears in the standings overview in a FFL. The PA number is determined by adding up the points from every opponent's starting players so far in the season. The acronym is similar to the PF stat which represents the number of points scored by the team's starting players during the season.
