Issues found (4)
NSEC3 parameters not RFC 9276 compliant
NSEC3 iterations must be 0 and salt must be empty per RFC 9276. Modern resolvers (Unbound 1.19+, BIND 9.19+) may treat your zone as insecure
Learn moreNo IPv6 (AAAA) records
Your domain is not reachable via IPv6. IPv6 is becoming increasingly important
Learn moreExcessive verification TXT records
Your domain has many third-party verification records. These reveal your tech stack to potential attackers (reconnaissance). Review and remove unused verifications
Learn moreRecommendations (3)
Add IPv6 support
Request AAAA records from your hosting provider for your website. IPv6 is becoming increasingly important.
Impact: Makes your website accessible to IPv6-only networks
IPv6 for mail servers
Add AAAA records for your MX servers to support email via IPv6.
Impact: Improves email reachability for IPv6 networks
Review verification TXT records
Your domain has many third-party verification records that reveal your tech stack (Google, Microsoft, Atlassian, etc.). Review each one: 1) Remove records for services no longer used 2) Consider if each service really needs domain verification 3) Use a subdomain for less critical services. This is an information disclosure issue - attackers can map your SaaS footprint.
Impact: Reduces reconnaissance surface and limits attacker knowledge of your infrastructure
