Issues found (3)
DMARC policy too lenient
Your DMARC policy is set to "none". Use "quarantine" or "reject" for better protection
Learn moreNo CAA records
CAA records determine which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates
Learn moreRecommendations (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
