Domain

Enter a root domain or subdomain.

Use a domain or subdomain only. Example: example.com or mail.example.com.

Choose the DNS record type you want to check.

Lookup settings

Keep public checks lightweight while still showing useful DNS context.

Include related DNS context

Also fetch NS, MX, and TXT records when available.

Detect SPF and DMARC hints

Highlight common TXT-based email authentication records.

Show raw values

Include copyable raw DNS values in results.

Free public checks use public DNS data and may reflect resolver cache.

Free public checks are limited to 3 uses/day. CAPTCHA may appear for protection. 0 / 3 used

What it checks

Inspect public DNS records with practical context

Wranker focuses on visible DNS answers, related nameserver and mail context, and rule-based hints that support technical SEO and troubleshooting workflows.

Use it during internal linking audits, content optimisation, technical SEO reviews, website migrations and content hub planning.

Lookup

Public DNS record checks

Inspect common record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and CAA for a domain or subdomain.

Email

MX, SPF, DMARC and DKIM context

Review mail hosts and email authentication hints, with selector-based DKIM checks when a selector is provided.

Context

Nameservers, TXT values and TTLs

Include related NS, MX and TXT context so technical SEO teams can understand more than the selected record alone.

Hints

Rule-based DNS health observations

Surface public-safe hints for missing records, multiple SPF values, missing DMARC, low TTLs and nameserver availability.

Why it matters

Keep websites, email and verification workflows resolving clearly

DNS records connect your domain to websites, mail servers, verification services and security systems. Incorrect records can cause downtime, email delivery issues, failed verification, SSL issuance problems and troubleshooting delays.

Avoid routing surprises

Confirm public DNS visibility before website launches, migrations, redirect work or technical SEO QA.

Reduce email setup delays

Review MX, TXT, SPF, DMARC and DKIM selector records before handoff to IT, developers or email platforms.

Document what resolvers see

Use visible records, TTLs, resolver status and raw data as a practical troubleshooting snapshot.

How it works

From hostname to DNS lookup setup in four focused steps

The public workflow stays intentionally simple: enter the host, select the record type, enable related context and open the lookup output for review.

01

Enter a domain or subdomain

Use example.com, www.example.com, mail.example.com or _dmarc.example.com. Full URLs are normalised where possible.

02

Choose the record type

Select A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA or CAA depending on the DNS question you need to answer.

03

Add related context

Enable nameserver, mail, TXT, SPF, DMARC, TTL or DKIM selector context for a wider troubleshooting view.

04

Run the lookup

Submit the check and review records, health hints and raw DNS data in the dashboard-style output.

Who should use it

DNS checks for launch, migration and email QA without noisy diagnostics

Use the DNS Lookup Checker when you need a fast public view of DNS visibility before SEO audits, domain changes, email setup or technical handoff.

Technical SEO specialists

Review DNS records before migrations, launches, SSL troubleshooting and technical SEO audits.

SEO agencies

Add DNS visibility checks to client QA workflows and technical handoffs without exposing private diagnostics.

Developers and IT teams

Verify DNS changes, record values, TTLs and email authentication hosts during implementation.

Marketing and website teams

Check verification TXT records, campaign landing page domains and mail readiness before launch.

FAQs

Questions about DNS lookup checks answered clearly

A practical reference for record types, subdomain checks, SPF, DMARC, DKIM selectors and export expectations.

A DNS Lookup Checker is a tool that looks up public DNS records for a domain or subdomain. It can show record values, TTLs, nameservers, mail records, TXT records and DNS health hints.

You can check common DNS record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and CAA.

Yes. The tool supports root domains and subdomains such as www.example.com, mail.example.com or _dmarc.example.com.

An A record maps a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address.

An MX record tells mail systems which mail servers should receive email for a domain.

A TXT record stores text values used for verification, SPF, DMARC, DKIM and other services.

Yes. The tool can detect SPF records from TXT values and check DMARC at the expected _dmarc host where supported.

Yes, but DKIM requires a selector. Enter the DKIM selector in Advanced settings to check a host such as selector1._domainkey.example.com.

DNS results can vary because of resolver cache, propagation timing, TTLs, DNS provider behaviour and geographic resolver differences.

Yes. Public exports may include CSV, PDF, JSON and TXT. You can also copy records, raw DNS data and SPF/DMARC summaries where available.
