# DNS record checker

See the live DNS records of a domain or subdomain, with what each one does, and whether two public resolvers already agree after a change.

## How it works

1.

### Enter a name

A domain such as example.com or a subdomain such as shop.example.com.

2.

### We query public resolvers

Our server asks Cloudflare's resolver over DNS-over-HTTPS for seven record types, and Google's resolver for A, NS and MX as a second opinion.

3.

### Read the records

Each record type is listed with its TTL and a plain explanation, plus a note when something important is missing.

## DNS checker: questions and answers

###

Resolvers keep an answer for its TTL (time to live), so a change appears once the old TTL has passed: often minutes, at most a day or two for long TTLs. If both resolvers here show the new value, most visitors see it too.
