Frequently Asked Questions

What does the DNS health report check?

The report audits NS delegation, SOA record, A/AAAA records, MX configuration, SPF, DMARC, DKIM (common selectors), CAA records and DNSSEC — giving you a comprehensive view of your domain's DNS health.

How is the health grade calculated?

Each check is weighted by importance. Critical items like NS delegation and A records carry more weight, while optional features like DKIM or CAA contribute less. The grade ranges from A (excellent) to F (critical issues).

Why is DKIM sometimes not found?

DKIM records are published under a specific selector (e.g. 'default._domainkey.example.com'). The tool tests common selectors like 'default', 'google', and 'selector1', but your domain may use a different selector name.

What is DNSSEC and why does it matter?

DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) adds cryptographic signatures to DNS responses, preventing attackers from tampering with DNS answers. Without DNSSEC, users are vulnerable to DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.

Should I fix all warnings?

Critical failures (NS, A records) should be fixed immediately as they affect site availability. Mail security (SPF, DMARC) is essential for email delivery. Optional items like CAA and DNSSEC are strong security enhancements worth implementing.
