Website & Server Tools

Free tools to check SSL certificates, domain expiration, DNS records, nameservers, API health, server latency, redirect chains, and website uptime. No signup required.

SSL Certificate Checker

Check any website's SSL certificate instantly. See expiration dates, issuer details, TLS version, certificate chain, and security grade.

  • Certificate validity & expiration
  • TLS protocol version
  • Issuer & subject details
  • Security grade breakdown
Use tool

Domain Expiration Checker

Look up any domain's registration details. See expiry date, registrar, nameservers, and WHOIS data, all from RDAP and WHOIS databases.

  • Domain expiry date & countdown
  • Registrar & nameservers
  • WHOIS creation & update dates
  • Registry status codes
Use tool

DNS Lookup Tool

Look up all DNS records for any domain. Check A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA, and CNAME records with email security analysis and a DNS health grade.

  • All record types (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA)
  • Email security analysis (SPF & DMARC)
  • DNS health grade
  • TTL values & SOA details
Use tool

Nameserver Lookup

Check the nameservers for any domain. See NS records, the IP addresses behind each nameserver, the DNS provider running them, and a delegation health grade.

  • NS records with IPv4 & IPv6 addresses
  • DNS provider detection
  • Redundancy & network diversity check
  • SOA record & consistency check
Use tool

API Status Checker

Test any API endpoint's health. Check response time, HTTP status, security headers, CORS configuration, and redirect chains in real time.

  • Response time & status code
  • Security headers audit
  • CORS configuration check
  • Redirect chain analysis
Use tool

Ping Test

Measure latency, packet loss, and jitter to any server or website. TCP-based ping from your browser, with no command line needed.

  • Latency (min / avg / max)
  • Packet loss percentage
  • Jitter measurement
  • Multiple ping rounds
Use tool

Redirect Checker

Trace the full HTTP redirect chain for any URL. See every hop, status code, Location header, and response time. Finds broken or unnecessary redirects.

  • Full redirect chain visualization
  • Status codes for every hop
  • Response time per redirect
  • Response headers inspection
Use tool

Uptime Checker

Comprehensive website health check. Analyzes DNS, SSL, redirects, response time, security headers, and content health with detailed grades.

  • DNS, SSL & redirect analysis
  • Security headers audit (HSTS, CSP)
  • Performance metrics (TTFB, compression)
  • Overall health score (A+ to F)
Use tool

Start from the symptom

Most of these failures look identical from the outside: the site is “down”. What separates them is which layer stopped answering. Find the symptom you actually have, and the tool that confirms it.

Browser warns visitors the connection is not private

The certificate expired, or the chain is missing an intermediate so only some clients trust it.

SSL Certificate Checker

The site resolves for you but not for someone else

A stale record, or the registrar and the DNS host disagree about which nameservers are authoritative.

Nameserver Lookup

Email to your domain silently stops arriving

An MX, SPF, DKIM or DMARC record was edited or dropped. None of it breaks the website, so nothing else alerts.

DNS Lookup Tool

The domain stops working entirely, all at once

The registration lapsed. Registrar reminders go to whichever mailbox registered it, which is rarely the one you read.

Domain Expiration Checker

Pages load, but slowly, and only sometimes

A redirect chain is adding a round trip per hop, or one hop leaves HTTPS and comes back.

Redirect Checker

The app is up but an integration reports failures

The endpoint returns 200 with an error body, so anything that only checks status codes sees success.

API Status Checker

Connections feel unstable rather than down

Packet loss or jitter on the path. Averages hide it; the variance is the symptom.

Ping Test

Something is wrong and you cannot narrow it down yet

Start wide. One pass over DNS, TLS, redirects, headers and response time tells you which of the above to open.

Uptime Checker

Questions

Do these tools need an account?

No. Every tool on this page runs without a signup, an email address, or a trial. Enter a domain and read the result. Continuous monitoring needs an account because it has to store your checks and reach you when one fails, but nothing here does.

What is the difference between a check and monitoring?

A check is one measurement, right now, from wherever the request happens to originate. Monitoring is the same measurement repeated on a schedule from fixed regions, with the history kept so you can tell a blip from a trend, and an alert when the result changes. A check answers whether something is broken. Monitoring is what tells you it broke at 03:12 while you were asleep.

How current are the results?

Every tool queries live: DNS resolvers, RDAP and WHOIS registries, and the target host itself. Nothing is served from a cache of a previous visitor's lookup. DNS answers are still bounded by the TTL on the record, so a change made seconds ago may not have propagated to the resolver that answers.

Can I share or automate a result?

Each tool encodes its input in the URL, so a result page can be pasted into an issue or a chat and it will re-run for whoever opens it. For anything scripted, use the REST API instead of the browser tools.

Why Use These Tools?
