Inspect DNS records of a domain

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, CAA and SOA records are queried through Cloudflare’s public resolver, with TTLs, DNSSEC status and SPF and DMARC checks.

Interpret the result

Compare the answers with your DNS provider’s settings, fix missing mail or verification records, and allow for TTLs before re-checking a change.

Prioritize fixes

Results come from one public resolver at one moment; other resolvers may still serve cached answers until the TTL expires.
