Issues found (3)

DMARC policy too lenient

Your DMARC policy is set to "none". Use "quarantine" or "reject" for better protection

Learn more

DKIM not found

DKIM helps verify your outgoing email

Learn more

No CAA records

CAA records determine which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates

Recommendations (3)

Strengthen DMARC policy

Change your DMARC policy from "none" to "quarantine" or "reject" for better protection.

Impact: Increases email security and prevents abuse

Implement DKIM

Configure DKIM signing with your email provider and publish the DKIM public key in DNS.

Impact: Improves email deliverability and prevents spoofing

Add CAA records

Define which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates, for example: "0 issue letsencrypt.org"

Impact: Prevents unauthorized certificate issuance
