DNS Record Lookup

DNS Propagation Checker

Check one DNS record across authoritative and public resolvers. Add expected values when you want a clear match-versus-lagging comparison.

Add one or more values to label matching resolvers and identify lagging answers. Separate multiple values with commas, pipes, semicolons, or new lines.
Authoritative + recursive resolver sampling. Use Global/Launch when a cutover needs more confidence than a quick spot check.
Auto-refresh is off. No completed refresh yet. Choose an interval to monitor this one record without building a batch.

Reverse IP Lookup

Provider: ViewDNS

Uses passive DNS / provider intelligence to show domains observed on an IP address. Results are not authoritative DNS data.

Use this when you want a provider-backed passive DNS view. This is not a live DNS query and it should not be treated as complete or authoritative.

Hosting Provider Lookup

Evidence-based Confidence rated

Estimate the DNS provider, CDN/WAF/edge layer, likely origin host, and mail provider from DNS, HTTP, TLS, PTR, and ASN evidence.

This tool intentionally says “likely” because CDN, WAF, and reverse-proxy layers can hide the real origin host.

WHOIS Domain Lookup

Pull registry WHOIS data with a cleaner registrar/date/status summary first, then raw output when you need the messy details.

SSL Certificate Check

301 Redirect Testing

Redirect Import Tester

Upload one or more 301 redirect import spreadsheets, combine them into one validation run, catch loops/conflicts, and export clean files before WordPress or WP Engine import.

Fixed-file exports
Ready: Upload redirect lists to catch import blockers before they hit WordPress or WP Engine.

HTTP Header Inspection

Repeatable header diagnostics with saved profiles, cache interpretation, CORS checks, and baseline drift comparison.

CORS / Preflight Diagnostics
Profiles and baselines use MySQL when available. Built-in profiles still work without saved custom profile storage.

HTTP Status Check

Run one-off checks or reusable launch smoke-test route sets with assertions and baseline drift history.

Expected Behavior and Route Set
One route per line. Format: URL/path | expected status | expected final URL | redirect count | title contains | body contains | body not contains | canonical URL

Port Scanner

TCP reachability checks with presets, service guesses, latency, and safer next steps.

Custom ports are added to the selected preset. Use commas, spaces, or ranges like 8000-8010.
Advanced Scan Options
Use this for authorized troubleshooting and firewall validation. Keep scans small and intentional.

Launch Readiness

Page Resource Audit

Scan one page for broken images, missing CSS/JS, failed resources, mixed content, redirects, slow assets, and staging/off-domain references before launch.

Advanced audit options
One pattern per line or comma-separated. Supports simple wildcards.
Used only for this scan and not included in exports/shares.

Domain Snapshot

Capture a broad domain-state snapshot with DNS, mail/auth records, SSL, registrar details, and edge-provider clues.

DNS Watcher

Watch one DNS record or build a coordinated record group, then run individual, filtered, or all-active checks from one workspace.

Create Watch

Enter the hostname, record type, and expected value. DNS Watcher uses safe defaults unless you open Advanced.

Simple mode: exact expected-value match, recursive DNS, 5-minute checks, and 24-hour stability rechecks after a match.

Validation Bundle Builder
Validation Bundles
Create a bundle to group DNS, SSL, header, and status checks for one launch.
Launch Sessions
Launch Sessions tie baselines, validation bundles, scheduled snapshots, and a timeline together so one domain launch can be monitored from one place.

Create a launch session to coordinate scheduled snapshots, baselines, validation bundles, and timeline events.

Client DNS Handoff Builder

Build, share, verify, and track client DNS handoff packages in one focused workspace.

📝 Reports

Build polished read-only outputs from saved launch workflows and the current visible result from any supported tool.

Use the new Report action on result panels for quick executive or technical outputs. This workspace handles saved launch sessions, validation bundles, and domain snapshot comparisons.
Saved workflow export

Validation Bundle

Generate a clean read-only report from one existing validation bundle.

Saved workflow export

Launch Session

Preserve the current launch-session state, timeline, and linked bundle context in one printable output.

Comparison export

Domain Snapshot Comparison

Choose two stored snapshots for the same domain and turn the comparison into a client-friendly read-only report.

Generated Reports

Ready for output

Generate a read-only report from a saved workflow or supported result panel.

When a report is ready, this area will show the preserved title, summary metrics, share state, and quick export actions.

DNS Zone File Compare

Paste or upload a DNS zone export and compare it against live DNS before a nameserver migration.

Text zone exports only. The file is read in this browser tab and sent as text for the comparison.

DNS Migration Readiness Workspace

Cutover planning Human review required

Combine live DNS, zone-file comparison, provider intelligence, proposed records, and watcher targets into one migration readiness review.

Used in the copy-ready client summary only.
Zone-file style lines work best. These become suggested post-cutover watcher targets.
This workspace does not change DNS. It creates a readiness checklist, migration summary, and watcher target suggestions to support the engineer’s final review.

Batch DNS Operations

Batch DNS Propagation Checker

Check multiple DNS records across selected public resolvers, compare expected values, and monitor propagation changes without overlapping requests.
