What it does
Query DNS records for any domain — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, CAA, SRV, PTR. Uses Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS endpoint (cloudflare-dns.com), so results are DNSSEC-validated and bypass any local resolver caching.
Handy for verifying email setup (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC), debugging website propagation after a DNS change, or confirming an SPF/CAA record landed correctly.
