Add\/verify CAA records and confirm your certificate matches the hostnames.<\/p>\u2022 Slow region? Ensure DNS answers route to the closest PoP\/CDN or correct origin IP for that region.<\/p> <\/p>Email Authentication Checks<\/strong><\/p>\u2022 SPF: One valid SPF record per domain; avoid multiple SPF TXT records.<\/p>\u2022 DKIM: Publish DKIM selector TXT at: selector._domainkey.example.com<\/p>\u2022 DMARC: Add _dmarc.example.com with policy (p=none | quarantine | reject) and reporting addresses.<\/p> <\/p>FAQ<\/strong><\/p>Q: How long does DNS propagation take?<\/p>A: Typically minutes to a few hours. High TTLs, ISP caches, and nameserver changes can extend this. Use the checker to verify region by region.<\/p> <\/p>Q: Why do different resolvers show different answers?<\/p>A: Cached records, geo-DNS, and anycast can yield different results per resolver and region. That\u2019s why multi-resolver views are valuable.<\/p> <\/p>Q: Do I need DNSSEC?<\/p>A: DNSSEC helps prevent tampering by validating DNS responses. If your registry\/host supports it, enabling DNSSEC is recommended.<\/p> <\/p>Ready to check your DNS?
