domain health checker

run ten independent checks on any domain — dns, email authentication, tls, redirects, headers, cors, and public-web surface — in one page.

what it checks

dns

a, aaaa, ns, soa, caa, and txt records — everything a resolver asks the authoritative nameserver for.

mx

the mail exchangers the domain advertises, sorted by priority. shows you which provider runs the inbox.

spf

the sender policy framework txt record that tells recipient mail servers which ips may send mail for this domain.

dmarc

the policy published at _dmarc.<domain> — p=none/quarantine/reject, alignment, and reporting addresses.

dkim

probes the most common dkim selectors (default, google, k1, selector1/2, mxvault) to find the public key.

tls

subject, issuer, sans, fingerprint, and expiry for the certificate served over :443.

redirects

traces the http(s) redirect chain from https://<domain>/ up to ten hops.

headers

hsts, csp, x-frame-options, x-content-type-options, referrer-policy, permissions-policy — every header on /.

cors

runs a preflight options request and surfaces the access-control-* response headers.

web surface

fetches robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and the home page <head> to summarise the domain's public web surface.

who uses it

  • devops preparing a domain transfer or dns migration
  • email deliverability engineers auditing spf/dkim/dmarc alignment
  • security teams reviewing http headers and tls configuration
  • anyone pointing a new domain at production for the first time
