CDN & Delivery

Action

No CDN detected

FIX

No CDN detected

Consider using a CDN to improve global delivery speed and reduce origin load.

DNS Records

1 A records, 26 ms lookup

PASS

1 A records, 26 ms lookup

Resolves to 1 IPv4 address(es)

Got: 64.233.167.191

Single A record — no DNS redundancy

Multiple A records provide failover if one server goes down.

Has 1 IPv6 (AAAA) record(s)

Got: 2a00:1450:400c:c0a::bf

4 nameserver(s) configured

Got: ns2.google.com, ns3.google.com, ns4.google.com, ns1.google.com

No MX records — email not configured via DNS

CAA records not checked

CAA record lookup requires a specialized DNS resolver. This check will be available in a future update.

Resolved in 26 ms

Multiple A records provide failover if one server goes down.

Why this matters

Single A record means a single point of failure — if that IP goes down, your site is unreachable until DNS TTL expires.

Learn more ▾

Add multiple A records for round-robin failover, or use a managed DNS provider with health-checked failover (Route 53, Cloudflare, NS1). Short TTL (60-300s) lets clients recover faster on outages.

CAA record lookup requires a specialized DNS resolver. This check will be available in a future update.

Why this matters

Informational: CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) records weren't checked in this scan.

See the visual redirect chain in the HTTP Probe tab →

If permanent, use 301 instead.

Why this matters

302 (Found) is for genuinely temporary redirects — if this redirect is permanent, switch to 301 to preserve SEO equity.

Learn more ▾

Search engines treat 302 as temporary, keeping the original URL indexed and not transferring full link equity to the destination. Use 301 (Moved Permanently) for permanent redirects (HTTP→HTTPS, www-vs-non-www, URL restructures).

The domain can be transferred without an unlock step. Enable registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited) in your registrar's control panel to protect against unauthorized or accidental transfers.

Why this matters

Without registrar lock, an attacker who phishes your registrar credentials can transfer the domain in minutes — total brand hijack.

Learn more ▾

Registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited, clientUpdateProhibited, clientDeleteProhibited) requires extra verification before any transfer/update/delete. Every major registrar offers it free. Combined with 2FA on your registrar account, it's the strongest defense against domain hijacking.
