Nameserver Configuration
Status Check Details & Recommendation
OK
NS Records
Found 2 NS record(s): hera.ns.cloudflare.com, elliott.ns.cloudflare.com
NS records define which nameservers are authoritative for this domain.
OK
NS Redundancy
Good: 2 nameservers found. Redundancy is ensured.
Multiple nameservers provide redundancy and load distribution.
OK
NS A Records
Nameservers resolved: hera.ns.cloudflare.com → 108.162.192.162, 172.64.32.162, 173.245.58.162 | elliott.ns.cloudflare.com → 162.159.44.228, 108.162.195.228, 172.64.35.228
Nameservers must have valid A records to be reachable.
OK
NS Different Subnets
Nameservers appear to be on different subnets — good for resilience.
Having nameservers on different IP subnets provides better fault tolerance.
OK
NS Connectivity
hera.ns.cloudflare.com is reachable at 173.245.58.162
Nameservers must be reachable to answer DNS queries.
OK
NS Connectivity
elliott.ns.cloudflare.com is reachable at 162.159.44.228
Nameservers must be reachable to answer DNS queries.
Zone / SOA Configuration
Status Check Details & Recommendation
OK
SOA Record
SOA: elliott.ns.cloudflare.com | Contact: dns.cloudflare.com | Serial: 2401773869
The SOA record is the primary record for your DNS zone and is required by RFC 1035.
OK
SOA Serial Format
Serial 2401773869 follows the recommended YYYYMMDDNN format.
The YYYYMMDDNN format makes it easy to track when the zone was last updated.
OK
SOA Refresh
Refresh: 10000s — within recommended range (1200–43200).
The refresh interval controls how often secondary nameservers check for zone updates.
OK
SOA Retry
Retry: 2400s — within recommended range (120–7200).
The retry interval controls how often a secondary retries after a failed refresh.
OK
SOA Expire
Expire: 604800s — within recommended range (604800–2419200).
The expire value defines how long a secondary will serve zone data without a successful refresh.
OK
SOA Minimum TTL
Minimum TTL: 1800s — within recommended range (300–86400).
The minimum TTL is used for negative caching (NXDOMAIN responses).
DNS Address Records
Status Check Details & Recommendation
OK
A Records
IPv4: 172.66.147.243, 104.20.23.154
A records point your domain to IPv4 web server addresses.
OK
AAAA Records
IPv6: 2606:4700:10::6814:179a, 2606:4700:10::ac42:93f3
AAAA records provide IPv6 connectivity for your domain.
OK
WWW Record
www.example.com → 104.20.23.154, 172.66.147.243
www subdomain resolves correctly.
Mail Server (MX)
Status Check Details & Recommendation
OK
MX Records
Found 1 MX record(s): pri=0
MX records specify which mail servers accept email for your domain.
ERROR
MX A Record
MX host has no A record. Mail delivery will fail.
Every MX host must have a valid A record. Without it, other mail servers cannot connect to deliver email.
WARN
MX Redundancy
Only 1 MX record. Consider adding a backup MX for redundancy.
A backup MX with higher priority number ensures email is queued and delivered even if your primary mail server is down.
Email Authentication
Status Check Details & Recommendation
OK
SPF Record
SPF: v=spf1 -all
SPF record found. This helps prevent email spoofing from your domain.
OK
SPF Policy
SPF uses -all (hardfail) — strong protection against spoofing.
-all rejects email from unauthorized servers, providing the strongest SPF protection.
OK
DMARC Record
DMARC: v=DMARC1;p=reject;sp=reject;adkim=s;aspf=s
DMARC record found. This provides policy enforcement for email authentication.
OK
DMARC Policy
DMARC policy is "reject" — strongest protection.
p=reject instructs receiving servers to reject email that fails DMARC checks.
OK
DKIM Record
DKIM found at selector 'default': v=DKIM1; p=…
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) uses cryptographic signatures to verify that email was sent by an authorized server and was not tampered with. RFC 6376.
Other Records
Status Check Details & Recommendation
INFO
CAA Records
No CAA records found. Consider adding CAA records to restrict which CAs can issue SSL certificates for your domain.
CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) records prevent unauthorized certificate authorities from issuing SSL/TLS certificates for your domain. RFC 6844.
INFO
Other TXT Records
_k2n1y4vw3qtb4skdx9e7dxt97qrmmq9
TXT records are used for various purposes including domain verification, email authentication, and other services.
