DNS checker methodology

What this tool measures, what it does not, and how a score or grade is produced.

What we measure

Selected record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, CAA) as seen by a few public resolvers at the moment of the query.

What we do not measure

Every resolver on the internet, DNSSEC validity as a full audit, or whether your application is using the records correctly.

How we calculate this

A match/mismatch verdict compares only the resolvers we query. Propagation can still take up to 24–48 hours elsewhere.
