Free DNS Record Checker

Excellent (90-100%): All essential DNS records are present (MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM). At 100%, you should have no DNS-related deliverability issues*

Good (70-89%): Most essential records are present, but some are missing. Your emails may still deliver, but you're missing important authentication that could improve deliverability and security.

Fair (50-69%): Several critical records are missing. Your email deliverability is likely being impacted, and you may experience higher spam rates or delivery failures.

Poor (0-49%): Critical authentication records are missing. Your emails are at high risk of being marked as spam or rejected by receiving servers.

*Important Note: This DNS checker only verifies that records exist, not whether they're correctly configured. For the most accurate assessment of your email deliverability, sign up and run a full email test that analyzes your actual email content, headers, and authentication.

Found: This record has been found on your domain.

Not found: This record is missing from your domain. This will negatively impact your DNS score and could negatively impact your email deliverability and security.

Critical Issue: Without MX records, your domain cannot receive email. This is essential for any domain that needs to receive email.

Impact: All emails sent to your domain will bounce back to the sender.

Solution: Contact your domain registrar or DNS provider to add MX records pointing to your email server.

Important Issue: SPF records prevent email spoofing by specifying which servers are authorized to send email from your domain.

Impact: Your emails may be flagged as spam, and your domain is vulnerable to spoofing attacks.

Solution: Add an SPF record like:v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

Recommended: DMARC records tell receiving servers how to handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM authentication.

Impact: Without DMARC, you won't receive reports about authentication failures, and you have less control over email handling.

Solution: Start with a monitoring policy:v=dmarc1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com

Recommended: DKIM adds a digital signature to your emails to prove they weren't altered in transit.

Impact: Your emails may be treated with less trust by receiving servers, potentially affecting deliverability.

Solution: DKIM setup varies by email provider. Contact your email service provider for specific instructions.

Option 2 - Do It Yourself: Follow these steps to fix DNS records yourself:

1. Contact Your Provider: Reach out to your domain registrar, DNS provider, or email service provider.

2. Use Their Tools: Most providers have DNS management tools in their control panels.

3. Wait for Propagation: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally.

4. Re-check: Use this tool again after making changes to verify they're working.
