Free domain, DNS & SSL tools

Check DNS records, SSL certificates, domain registration, and HTTP responses. No signup required.

DNS & email

DNS Record Lookup

Pull A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS and CNAME records for any domain in a single query.

DNS Propagation Checker

Query five public resolvers at once to see whether a record has propagated everywhere yet.

CNAME Lookup

Follow a hostname's CNAME chain all the way to whatever it ultimately points at.

TXT Record Lookup

List every TXT record on a domain, sorted into SPF, DKIM, DMARC and verification buckets.

SPF Record Checker

Parse a domain's SPF record and count its DNS lookups against the limit of ten.

DMARC Record Checker

Read a domain's DMARC policy and see whether it actually enforces anything.

DKIM Record Checker

Fetch a DKIM selector's public key and confirm the key hasn't been revoked.

HTTP & TLS

SSL Certificate Checker

Inspect a host's live TLS certificate: expiry countdown, issuer, and SANs.

HTTP Header Checker

See the response headers a URL returns and grade its security headers A to F.

Redirect Checker

Trace every hop in a URL's redirect chain, all the way to the final destination.

Website Status Checker

Check whether a URL is up and how fast it responds, without following redirects.

Domains & IP

WHOIS Lookup

Look up a domain's registrar, key dates, nameservers and status via RDAP.

Domain Age Checker

Find a domain's registration date and exactly how many years old it is.

Domain Availability Checker

Check whether a domain is unregistered, or compare a name across several TLDs.

Reverse IP Lookup

Run a PTR lookup to find the hostnames that point back at an IP address.

These are the spot-checks. Approximated is what runs them for every customer domain, all the time.
