DNS INTELLIGENCE STUDIO
DNS Record Explorer
Inspect live DNS answers, visualize how your domain is configured, and find common mistakes—with explanations you can actually use.
✓ 8 record types✓ Resolver comparison✓ Actionable diagnostics
Queries go directly from your browser to the selected external DNS resolver over HTTPS. PixelOkay does not need a file upload or its own lookup server. Privacy details
THE ESSENTIALS
Understand DNS with confidence
A useful starting point for checking web hosting, email delivery, certificate settings and domain delegation.
Spot common mistakes
Catch duplicate SPF or DMARC records, conflicting aliases, null MX conflicts and resolver error conditions.
Check public DNS views
Compare two independent recursive resolvers without claiming a cached answer is a direct authoritative response.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a full DNS zone export?
No. DNS lookup queries request individual types and names. A recursive resolver cannot enumerate all records in a zone, and this tool does not perform zone transfers.
Why can DNS records differ between resolvers?
Resolvers cache answers for the TTL and can return different IP addresses because of routing, location, or upstream policies. Compare results after allowing for propagation and caches.
Does a missing MX, CAA or DMARC record mean my domain is broken?
Not necessarily. MX is relevant to mail reception, CAA is optional, and DMARC is relevant to email policy. Missing records are presented as contextual guidance.
Can I test private nameservers or edit DNS records?
No. This browser tool uses supported public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers for read-only lookups; it cannot edit zones or query arbitrary authoritative nameservers directly.
How private are the lookups?
The entered hostname is sent to Cloudflare and/or Google DNS over HTTPS. Those external providers receive DNS query data and may apply their own privacy policies. PixelOkay does not require an account, and this tool does not store lookup history in your browser. The exported files are generated locally.
