TXT records let a domain publish arbitrary text data in DNS — commonly used for domain verification (proving you control a domain to a third-party service), SPF/DMARC email authentication, and other configuration data. This tool looks up every TXT record published for a domain.
How it works
Enter a plain domain name and the tool queries all of its TXT records, listing each one found.
- Enter domain.
- Click Calculate to see your results.
Examples
Domain verification records
Many domains publish several TXT records at once — one for SPF email authentication, and others for verifying ownership with services like Google Workspace or a hosting provider.
Who should use it
- Verifying a domain-ownership TXT record was added correctly.
- General DNS troubleshooting and auditing.
Industry applications
- Web development and hosting/DevOps
- IT support and email administration
Advantages
- Instant lookup with no software installation.
- Shows every TXT record at once, not just one specific type.
Limitations
- Doesn't interpret or validate the meaning of each TXT record — that's left to you or a dedicated checker tool.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a domain has no TXT records just because none show up — genuinely empty is common and not an error.
- Confusing a TXT record's purpose (SPF vs. domain verification vs. DKIM) — read the record's content itself to tell which is which.
Best practices
- Cross-check any TXT record you're troubleshooting against the exact syntax the third-party service (e.g. your email provider) expects — a small typo often breaks verification.
Tips
- Use the dedicated SPF Record Checker or DMARC Record Checker tools if you specifically need to verify email authentication records, rather than reading raw TXT output by hand.
