DNS Record Lookup

Look up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA records for a domain.

What this tool does

Queries DNS for the main record types and flags missing address, MX or name-server records and duplicate SPF records.

Who should use it

Site owners connecting hosting, email and verification records.

How it works

Records are requested through the hosting server's resolver using PHP's DNS functions and listed with TTLs.

How to use it

  1. Enter the full address of the page or site, including https://.
  2. Press the run button. The check makes live requests from our server and can take up to about 30 seconds.
  3. Read the findings first, then open the tables for detail. Each finding has a severity and a suggested fix.
  4. Copy or download the results if the tool offers it, fix the issues on your site and run the check again to confirm.

Practical example

A domain with two SPF TXT records is flagged as an error.

Understanding the results

TTL shows how long resolvers may cache the record.

Limitations

Results reflect this server's resolver and caches, and propagation delays apply. Subdomains must be entered fully.

Accuracy and report transparency

Findings come from a real HTTP request made by our server. The result panel shows the checked URL, the UTC time of the check and the data source, and separates measured findings from limitations. We do not show random or sample metrics.

Privacy

The URL you enter is used only to make the request and is not stored in our database. Results may be cached for about ten minutes to limit repeat requests, and the checker blocks local and private network addresses. See the Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my new records not show?

Resolvers cache old data until the TTL expires.

Is my data sent to your server?

The URL you enter is sent to our server so it can request that page. We do not store the page content or your results. Only an anonymous usage counter is kept, and short-lived cached results may be held for about ten minutes to reduce repeat requests.

How accurate are the results?

Findings are verified against the live HTTP response our server received at the time shown. They can differ from what Google or your visitors see, because of location, caching, JavaScript rendering or bot blocking.

Is this tool really free?

Yes. There is no account, limit or paid plan. The site is supported by advertising, which is disclosed on our Advertising Disclosure page.
