WHOISComplete Domain Report
Every section, in one place: registration, DNS, DNSSEC, IP, website, SSL, security headers, and email — twenty technical checks from a single lookup.
What is a complete domain report?
A complete domain report gathers every technical check we run on a domain into one page. In a single lookup you see registration details, DNS and DNSSEC, the IP address and its network, the website's response and redirects, the SSL certificate and security headers, and email configuration: twenty checks in all, followed by recommendations for anything that failed.
It is the best starting point when you want the whole picture of a domain instead of one detail at a time.
How the complete domain report works
The report collects the data once and organises it into numbered sections, so related findings sit together. Each section uses the same lookups as our dedicated tools, which means you can follow a link from any section to a deeper explanation without starting over.
The report sections
- 1 to 6, Registration: registrar, dates, age, expiry and status from RDAP or WHOIS.
- 7 to 8, DNS and DNSSEC: whether the domain resolves and whether it is signed.
- 9 to 10, IP and ASN: the server's IP address and the network that holds it.
- 11 to 13, Website, HTTP and redirects: reachability, the status code and where requests end up.
- 14 to 15, SSL and security headers: certificate validity and protective response headers.
- 16 to 20, Email: mail servers and the SPF and DMARC records that protect the domain.
How to use the complete domain report
- Enter a domain such as
example.comand start the report. - Allow a few extra seconds; the report runs many lookups before it shows results.
- Read the recommendations first to see what needs attention.
- Work through the sections and open the linked tools for any area you want to fix or understand better.
What the report results mean
Each check shows a pass, a problem or Unknown. A problem is something we positively observed, such as an expired certificate or a missing DMARC record. Unknown means a check could not be completed, for example when a registry does not publish a field, and it is not counted against the domain. When everything that could be checked is fine, the recommendations section says there is nothing to fix.
Common uses for a full domain report
- Auditing a client's domain at the start of a project.
- Checking a domain before buying it or partnering with its owner.
- Confirming that a migration kept DNS, SSL and email working.
- Creating a quick written record of a domain's setup on a given date.
Getting the most from the report
Run the report before and after any change to hosting, DNS or email, and save both versions as PDFs from your browser. Comparing the two shows exactly what changed and whether anything broke. If you look after several domains, keep one saved report per domain as a simple record of how each one was set up.
Common problems and fixes
The report takes a while. It runs every check in one request. Please wait rather than refreshing.
The website section shows no response. The domain may not have web hosting, may only be used for email, or its server may have been slow to answer. Check it again with the Website Status Checker.
Email checks fail. If the domain sends email, publish an SPF record and a DMARC record. If it never sends email, a strict SPF record of v=spf1 -all helps prevent spoofing.

Frequently asked questions
What does the complete domain report include?
Twenty technical checks grouped into six sections: registration, DNS and DNSSEC, IP and ASN, website with HTTP status and redirects, SSL with security headers, and email configuration. It ends with recommendations that link to the right tool for each failed check.
How is this report different from the domain health check?
The domain health check turns nine key checks into a weighted score from 0 to 100. The complete domain report shows every detail behind those checks and more, such as the IP network, redirects and security headers, without reducing them to a single number.
Why does the complete domain report take longer than other tools?
It runs many lookups in one go: registration, DNS, an HTTP request to the website, a TLS connection for the certificate and several email record queries. Each depends on remote servers responding, so the report naturally takes a few seconds longer than a single check.
Can I save or share the domain report?
The report is a normal web page, so you can print it or save it as a PDF from your browser. The address includes the domain, which lets you rerun the same report later to see whether anything has changed.
What should I fix first in the report?
Start with the recommendations at the top. Problems that can take a site offline matter most: an expiring registration, DNS that does not resolve or an invalid SSL certificate. After that, fix email authentication such as SPF and DMARC, then security headers.
Does the report check every page of my website?
No. It checks the domain's setup and the response of the main web address, including redirects. It does not crawl other pages, test page speed in detail or review content. Tools such as the Mixed Content Checker can look at a specific page in more depth.
Why do some checks show Unknown?
A check is marked Unknown when it could not be completed, for example because the registry does not publish a field or a server did not respond in time. Unknown is not treated as a failure. Running the report again later often fills in the missing results.
