DNS Examiner
AI-powered zone analysis that checks your DNS configuration for issues, misconfigurations, and missed best practices — then tells you exactly how to fix them.
How it works
One click. Full analysis. Actionable fixes.
Click Examine
Navigate to any zone in your Edge DNS dashboard and open the Examiner tab. Hit "Run Examination".
Live Analysis
We run live DNS lookups against your domain and compare them with your configured records. AI analyses everything in seconds.
Fix Issues
Get a health score, a prioritised list of issues by severity, and specific record values to add or change — right in your dashboard.
What it checks
A comprehensive audit across six categories, every time you run it.
Email Deliverability
Validates SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Checks MX configuration and flags missing or misconfigured email authentication that could land your messages in spam.
Security Configuration
Reviews CAA records for certificate authority restrictions, checks for overly permissive wildcards, and verifies DNSSEC readiness.
Nameserver Delegation
Compares live NS lookups against your assigned Edge nameservers. Identifies delegation mismatches at your registrar before they cause downtime.
Web Accessibility
Confirms A/AAAA records resolve correctly, checks for CNAME-at-apex conflicts, and verifies www subdomain configuration.
Best Practices
Audits TTL values, flags duplicate or conflicting records, checks MX priority spread, and identifies orphaned entries.
Live Verification
Performs real DNS lookups alongside your configured records to catch propagation issues and discrepancies between intent and reality.
Only on Edge DNS
No other DNS provider offers built-in AI analysis. Cloudflare, Route 53, and DNSimple don't have it.
